I had this perfect situation where my studio was a three-minute walk away, and every day I would go to the studio. If I had an idea, I could work on it at the highest level possible.

More quotes by St. Lucia
Unfortunately, there are very few facilities which offer courses in the arts. Not all the secondary schools offer the subject for CXC examinations.
St. Lucia
Don't get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for anyone who has the nerve to even attempt to do music today, but this is just about what excites me.
St. Lucia
A lot of the people I was writing with think a lot more about lyrics and a lot more about the details from the beginning. That kind of thinking made me a little self-conscious because I was suddenly having to judge what I was doing early on in the process.
St. Lucia
[I] was always my dream to attend the Art Institute. I have always had this zeal to become the best that I can be and I saw that this institution will act as an avenue to me achieving that goal. I applied to the institution and got accepted based on my impressive portfolio.

My family still lives over there [ in South Africa] .I miss them terribly. I would say that most of my life over there was probably very similar to the sort of life someone would experience growing up somewhere like Australia or in the US.

I am home grown St. Lucian. Born in 1980 I have spent most of my life on this island. Apart from the few summers I spent in the United States I spent most of my time in my homeland.

When I was 10 I went to the Drakensberg Boys Choir School, which is this idyllic Harry Potter-esque music boarding school in the mountains in South Africa, and that's when everything started to change for me and I realised that music is my thing.
St. Lucia
Many of my students learn different techniques online and I have learnt a lot using this medium. Art is picking up in the Caribbean but it's unfortunate that we still have people looking down on it. Many persons who don't know better think that having a career in art is a waste of time. I guess the public just needs to be educated some more.
St. Lucia
I think that there is always room for improvement so I am seeking to reach as far as I can in my field of art, film and animation.
St. Lucia
I got a job as the Visuals Art's Teacher at my Alma Mata, St. Mary's College. Then my interests shifted to animation. Ironically, it was one of my students who sparked this energy in me by introducing me to an animation program called FLASH. So I dabbled and played around with it.
St. Lucia
Everyone can of course take their own meaning, that's the beauty of music and lyrics, but to me it seems like everything is about being attached to the past and being afraid of moving forward, afraid of that big dive or step and losing what was.
St. Lucia
I'm looking forward to seeing more of the US, and hopefully spending some of the summer in Europe playing festivals. It's early days though, so who knows.
St. Lucia
I always loved cartoons but the process seemed so difficult. Then I told myself, Nothing good comes easy. So, I took a plunge and started my first animation stint in 2003.
St. Lucia
We should not let negative influences get to us.
St. Lucia
A true artist is practically married to his or her art form so I just couldn't turn my back on it.
St. Lucia
None of my songs are written 'about' someone or something, they all just sort of tumble out unannounced, like the worst kind of house guest.
St. Lucia
I labour over details and whether a song should be a straight pop song form or exploratory. This is the curse with doing things by yourself.
St. Lucia
I've been making music for as long as I can remember. I would, as a kid, just sing little ideas or be making something.
St. Lucia
I am really enjoying media arts and digital painting.
St. Lucia
When I'm writing, those ideas are seldom inspired by music itself. I won't often listen to an artist and come up with an idea.
