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.

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.

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.

[My mother] was the one who encouraged me constantly and always reminded me that God gave me a talent and I have to use it. I should not keep it locked inside.

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

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.

I was very conceptual about what I was doing I had the first five albums planned out, and all the songs on every album, and the artwork. I always had these ambitious musical projects in mind.

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

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

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

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.

For now ACID Kreationz has only one body and that's me. I have intentions of hiring persons when I am through with university. For now it is only me but off and on I contract sound producers and other persons when the need arises.

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.
