Quote

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.

Most of the writing that I do is a complete train of thought process. I'll just be walking down the street or sitting on the toilet or whatever and something will pop into my head and I'll record it on my phone and then over the next little while it'll develop a little more in my head.

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.

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.

I believe that people have to be sensitized more about the many jobs an individual can branch out to after studying an art form.

The music that I listen to the most is probably world music, whether it's from African or South America or all over.

I tend to keep my mind open to the different forms of art out there and I am always willing to try new stuff.

There are literally endless options and possibilities, and often no clear or obvious path in how to make that choice, and nobody to tell you to go this way or that. But somehow, it works itself out if you trust in the process, which is often easier said than done.

Normally the meaning of the songs, if there is any, occurs to me after I've written the song.

A true artist is practically married to his or her art form so I just couldn't turn my back on it.

I didn't see [Luigi St. Omer] as a teacher. I saw him as a comrade I respected and I could go to see anytime something was bothering me. He was indeed my big brother. He praised me when I did something exceptional and scolded me when I did things which were out of the way.

I view the art scene as an industry which is slowly developing. These days, technology has mad the world smaller. Meaning that information is a website away.

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.

I also got encouragement from my teachers at primary school but one person in particular who had a significant impact on my lean towards art is Mr. Luigi St. Omer. Mr. St. Omer was the one who always reminded me that I should not settle for less than greatness in my art. He saw that I had the potential and he helped me develop that talent.

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.

I try to not be self-conscious in my writing process.

Music has always moved me really deeply, and it's always been more about that than about the desire to rebel or annoy people (although, I've had my moments of that as well). I think it was just years of maybe moving slightly away from it but always coming back to it as the thing that I'm best at.

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.

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.

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.

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.
