From as long as I can remember, I was always fond of drawing.

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.

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

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've been making music for as long as I can remember. I would, as a kid, just sing little ideas or be making something.

Image
I think it's important to just be in your subconscious mind - at least when you're starting an idea.

Image
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.

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

Image
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.

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

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 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.

[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.

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.

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.

What I love about African-African music is how unselfconscious it is in so many ways.
St. Lucia
Image
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.

You may be surprised to know that growing up, I wanted to be a writer of children's books.

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'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.
