thinking important poppies
I think you can hear, when you listen to someone's music, whether or not they're enjoying making it - it's so great to hear music where you can tell the person making it was just having a blast. That's really important to me as far as my process goes. That's probably why my music ends up being so poppy!

It takes me probably about four hours to get into the groove [with making music]. And it's really important for me to not break the groove.
thinking important texture
I know texture is really important, but I think texture and stuff precedes songwriting a lot of the time these days.

Whenever I'm making music I'm always waiting for the shivers to happen - that's an important thing for me.

I can't censor myself; it's really important for me to say how I feel.
thinking important trying
I think it's important how you spend your time. I try to make sure that I'm growing.

I've always been very intense about everything I do.

music
My image seems to be so infantilized, and I don't really know why. It belittles the music.
