If you're in the middle of the ocean with no flippers and no life preserver and you hear a helicopter, this is music. You have to adjust to your needs at the moment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Listening to soft music and the sound of the ocean is quite relaxing to me.
If I'm not on tour or in the studio, I'm in nature somewhere, usually some kind of ocean. Playing music has afforded me that. It's not lost on me that it's a tremendous opportunity to be able to spend your life being surrounded by nature.
Flying helicopters is what I do for fun.
Every time I slip into the ocean, it's like going home.
You're not a wave, you're a part of the ocean.
The thing is with hip-hop, it has its waves and the waves crash against the beach and the new waves come in. So to stay relevant you have to roll with that.
I am a helicopter pilot. Something that gives me pleasure sometimes is taking my helicopter to go high, 2000 meter, 6000 feet, to go there and feel like a bird. In this moment I feel free.
I love being by the ocean. It stills the voices in my head.
I'm not one for walking the beaches humming a melody. I love the discipline of sitting in the studio, writing and listening. That is my domain.
Surf music is actually just the sound of the waves played on a guitar: that wet, splashy sound.
