We should not let negative influences get to us.
St. Lucia
I am really enjoying media arts and digital painting.
St. Lucia
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.
St. Lucia
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.
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
I think it's important to just be in your subconscious mind - at least when you're starting an idea.
St. Lucia
[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.
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
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 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 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
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
Normally the meaning of the songs, if there is any, occurs to me after I've written the song.
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
A lot of my ideas come from McNally Jackson bookstore. One of my favorite things to do is just go there and look through architecture books and interior design books. Something about the aesthetics of space and beautiful images works with my brain.
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.
St. Lucia
My family still lives over there [ in South Africa] .I miss them terribly. I would say that most of my life over there was probably very similar to the sort of life someone would experience growing up somewhere like Australia or in the US.
St. Lucia
I had this perfect situation where my studio was a three-minute walk away, and every day I would go to the studio. If I had an idea, I could work on it at the highest level possible.
St. Lucia
What I love about African-African music is how unselfconscious it is in so many ways.
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.
