Like all businesses ACID has its ups and downs. There are actually seasons when business will pick up such as Christmas time and carnival time. There are other times when business will run very slow.

More quotes by St. Lucia
I think that layers in music, whether it's layers juxtaposing emotions and feelings or layers of texture, make for a more interesting product.
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
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.
St. Lucia
What I love about African-African music is how unselfconscious it is in so many ways.
St. Lucia
I try to not be self-conscious in my writing process.
St. Lucia
I believe that people have to be sensitized more about the many jobs an individual can branch out to after studying an art form.
St. Lucia
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.
St. Lucia
World music evokes a feeling. You don't have to think about the scene that it comes from.
St. Lucia
The music that I listen to the most is probably world music, whether it's from African or South America or all over.
St. Lucia
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)
St. Lucia
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.
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.
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
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.
St. Lucia
A true artist is practically married to his or her art form so I just couldn't turn my back on it.
St. Lucia
You may be surprised to know that growing up, I wanted to be a writer of children's books.
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
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
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.
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.
