When I first started, everything happened at once. I became religious, my musical career took off, I got married, I had kids, and all that happened within the course of a year. I had an excitement about this newly found faith, and so I was writing about that in a very evident kind of way.

I began observing, making paintings of my surroundings, taking a vow of silence, listening, composing music, writing, and making time for formal education. Then I started telling stories.

I start with a mood or an idea that comes from a personal place emotionally, and the narrative concepts come much later.

I feel like the first record was really finding my feet, figuring out what music I wanted to make... Now that I've done that, I feel like I've got a much clearer idea of what I want to sound like and what I want to discover. It's exciting.

I started my own record label.

I grew up in a small place and left it when I was quite young and entered the bigger world.

I'm not creating an enigma or leaving mystery, I'm just respecting myself enough as an artist to give myself room to grow and not to be devoured all in one go.

Music is where I started. It's kind of the base of everything.

I'd always been on the giving end of music and creating.

My intention was to create something that people loved to look at and they could find inspiration from, and that was it.
