More quotes by St. Lucia
I got a job as the Visuals Art's Teacher at my Alma Mata, St. Mary's College. Then my interests shifted to animation. Ironically, it was one of my students who sparked this energy in me by introducing me to an animation program called FLASH. So I dabbled and played around with it.
St. Lucia
Normally the meaning of the songs, if there is any, occurs to me after I've written the song.
St. Lucia
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.
St. Lucia
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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 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 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
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.
St. Lucia
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.
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
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
It's sad that some people still believe that artists die poor. This is not the case in this day and age.
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
I try to not be self-conscious in my writing process.
