My band, Former Human Beings, featured in an ad for Nissan Qashqai:
I wouldn't be me without motorcycles, scooters, racing, scratching vinyl, synths, keyboards, my slingshot, tattoos, photography, cooking, people-watching, hiking, sketching, sculpting, puzzles, hugging strangers, creating busts out of Legos, lucid dreaming, origami surprises, my Trigger Finger, making huge obnoxious oil paintings, shooting short films, shooting guns, Bollywood, karaoke, bubblegum, climbing trees, kickboxing, video gaming, picking neighbours flowers, belly-dancing, live music, knob-twisting... musically. Freaks.
Music is my number one motivator. My inspirations include Martin Gore, Depeche Mode, Autechre, Desert Sessions, Bjork/Sugarcubes, Tricky, Underworld, Whitey, The Clash, Air, Massive Attack, Marc Bolan/T.Rex, The Cure, Faithless, Timo Maas, Braintax, Trentemoller, Disciplin A Kitchme, LCD Soundsystem, Doves, Justice, Audioslave, Cibo Matto, SFA, Audio Bullys, QOTSA, The Pharcyde, Guilherme Geyer, Ella Fitzgerald, Lily Allen, Hard-Fi, PJ Harvey, Roots Manuva, Supergrass, FSOL, Pistamashina, The Doors, Portishead, Jon Spencer, and of course...
