More quotes by St. Lucia
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.
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 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
We should not let negative influences get to us.
St. Lucia
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.
St. Lucia
We need to understand that there is a process of learning and experience and success will stem from this. The painting represents life and the brushstroke represents the steps we take in life.
St. Lucia
World music evokes a feeling. You don't have to think about the scene that it comes from.
St. Lucia
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.
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
It's sad that some people still believe that artists die poor. This is not the case in this day and age.
St. Lucia
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.

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
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
What I love about African-African music is how unselfconscious it is in so many ways.
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.
St. Lucia
I tend to keep my mind open to the different forms of art out there and I am always willing to try new stuff.
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
There were times when I would suddenly realize making music is a crazy pipe dream. I would see bands that did super well in South Africa still struggling to survive, or even people on the international level who are doing well but financially can't really support themselves.
St. Lucia
Of course I had the parallel of having the early years of my life being spent during apartheid, and then having a lot of awful poverty going on around me while I lived in this bubble of middle-classness, but I was a child, and I only really started to (I hope) understand all of that fairly recently.
St. Lucia
I'm a huge Hayao Miyazaki fan. He might be my favorite director of all time - the beauty that he sees in the world and the attention to detail. I try and focus on that while making music: trying to use as many real instruments as possible, have it feel as tactile and tangible as possible.
