Because I'm pure inside, the music that comes out of me is a life-giving thing. Like water.

I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.

For me, living and making music, they're one thing. It's not like a job that I go to a studio to do, or a chore that I have to get myself in the mood to do, or something. It's the thing that I need to do every day.
