“Approaching people is not - it's ironic that it's what I do - but it's not necessarily what I enjoy doing. Later on, I'm fine. Once we get talking I have a great time but not in the beginning.”

Those people aren't really listening; they're judging a song off of a beat, off of a pulse.”

“When I went to school, it was really just to immerse myself in listening to, studying, and making music. I came out like, "How is this going to be more than a hobby I'm always paying off debt for?"

I play electronics, and the places I was gonna be playing were bass clubs and house parties.”
