I still love records, and I've been fortunate that my parents bought me a record player so I didn't just have my vinyls to stare at!

Both of my parents were super music lovers when I was growing up - they had a massive record and tape collection. I think my dad even had a couple of laser discs, but that was a short-lived thing.

Since I was a kid, music has been a huge part of my life. My parents had a pretty solid vinyl collection and exposed me to some amazing artists.

I grew up in an era where the record companies just sold records to everybody, and the whole family bought songs.

I guess I've been making records since I was 16, and even when 50 people bought them, I thought that was amazing.

I've looked at pictures that my mom has of me, from when I was four years old at the turntable. I'm there, reaching up to play the records. I feel like I was bred to do what I do. I've been into music, and listening to music and critiquing it, my whole life.

People love their favorite records. And I aspire to make a record someone might be able to love in that way.

I collect records pretty assiduously, so I've got, like, a massive record collection. I still DJ.

I like to buy records for people, make a present of the music.

One of the things that was a blessing for me is my parents were music lovers. Neither of my parents played an instrument, but they were avid record buyers. And I grew up at every age listening to all kinds of music.
