“Sometimes I think that we are living in a simulation controlled by the reigns of a destructive child who often gets bored or distracted, leaving us trapped inside feedback loops for years at a time.”

“I'm honestly just trying to surround myself with talented people that I look up to/feel like I can learn from.”

“I don't think that I've ever really been interested in many other things aside from music and making art in general.”

“I think everyone uses Auto-Tune.”

“I have to constantly be doing something; otherwise, I don't feel like I'm reaching the level that I should be.”

“My fans are so open-minded and trust that whatever I'm doing, in whatever moment of time, is the most accurate form of expression that I have to offer them. There are no expectations - only a journey which we all share together.”

“I kind of just dress the same way no matter where I am.”

“I'm always pushing myself.”

“I am really proud of where me and Ghastly's track 'Crank It' ended up. It was our first music video and big label release. It was such a dope experience working with OWSLA on that record.”

“I started as a rave promoter when I was 17 years old; then I started DJing at 19.”

“I've always been into super upbeat, cute, uplifting progressions, but at the same time, I'm also a very dark person. I really like both sides, and I feel like I'm always trying to find some middle ground with music or style or anything that I do.”

“Middle and high school sucked.”

“Moving to L.A., I got really into hip-hop and trap music and basically a lot of the sounds you would maybe normally see in a festival, but for whatever reason, I was so involved in vinyl and house at the time, I didn't even know that I liked trap.”

“I love shows. I love being with fans. It keeps you inspired.”

“I tend to think that every new song I make is better than the last one.”

“I want to tour less and make more art.”

“I never really planned on any of this being a career; all I knew for sure was that I wanted to create, I wanted to play music, and I wanted to share music.”

“I love traveling.”
