It's sad that some people still believe that artists die poor. This is not the case in this day and age.

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'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.

I am really enjoying media arts and digital painting.

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

[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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

World music evokes a feeling. You don't have to think about the scene that it comes from.

I am trying my best to stay above the water. Right now ACID does not only offer animation. I offer real life productions as well and also compositing (animation composited into real life video)

I think that layers in music, whether it's layers juxtaposing emotions and feelings or layers of texture, make for a more interesting product.

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.

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