I say we are climbing out of a ditch and we are climbing up.
I remember just looking at this lioness, she was staring at me, and we just had this weird connection.

You need to have honest things in the world. Even if people don't understand it, if it's coming from you, that's already important.
I find that the quest to be perfect and make perfect music is like a black whole. I realize that you can come with the intention to capture a vibe and use a formula, but you have to accept that most of the time its not going to be what you envisioned and you might manifest something better. I think that's been the hardest thing to wrap my head around that most ideas we go for ends up sounding different. I think art in general should be about enjoying the process and the experience. All that matters is if you feel the music and it captures the element your going for.
I think having wild, huge hair, is me being my own version of a lioness.
In music in general, you're always getting a lot of information, buts it's most important to have honest communication.

Staying connected to the people you love and staying connected to the things that really matter has been my biggest lesson.
