In 2000, after having devoted a decade to hip-hop music, I found myself disenchanted with the evolution of the genre. Around the same time, I was exposed to Boards of Canada, and was instantly drawn to their simple and innovative sounds. I realized that music was not only integral to my inner peace, but an essential mode of expressing states of mind and being. At that moment , the potential of music as language became evident, and I began to experiment outside of conventional uses of refrain, verse and bridge. Now, I expend more time creating feeling with intros because I take more time observing and analysing situations, or people, in every day life. Longer intros require the listener to make a "vacuum of their mind" and focus their attention. They also set-up what follows, especially the emotional rises that I want to evoke in the audience. Today, I approach my music as though it were a main form of communication to express my feelings and emotions. In this way, my music is now autobiographical.
