As a composer, I'm basically trying to represent myself through my music in an honest way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I consider myself a composer.
I'm a composer, man.
Originally, I wanted to be a composer. I always tell people, 'I think of myself as a composer.'
I am not so complicated or intelligent a composer, nor am I very interested in becoming so. I am much more happy doing what I know I can do than what I am not sure I could do.
As an artist, what you do represents who you are. Coming from a genuine, honest place - that's what I'm trying to do.
How I set myself apart is by creating the sort of real and honest music, which is who I'm also trying to be.
What inspires me is not so much the music as the opportunity to interact with composers. I think that has driven everything I've done.
I think that one of the things that influences me most as a composer is to what extent I can deconstruct and reconstruct the material that I'm working with.
I don't really call myself a composer.
I am an interpreter of music rather than a composer of it.
