I'm the type of cat who makes music from the heart, as a means of self medication!! when I make a beat, it's relaxing and fun, I don't really trip on shit. when I write lyrics I just go with the flow, I try to listen to what my inner voice is saying and sometimes... it makes sense!
If technology collapsed today, I would be more greatful than ever for my guitar... "Ruby" ... she can always take a beautiful day and make it better!!
My family and friends, and their influence, (backed by my own life experience) is where I draw my inspiration. they have always shown me unconditional love and that feeling,,, is where it's at!
