Q: • Before we dig in, what's next for you?
A whole bunch of singles! I got really lucky and had a bit of a great creative window earlier this year. Now just tightening them up and releasing them 1 by 1.
Q: What are your thoughts on the meaning of success, and how do you define success for yourself?
I think getting to a point where you are not worrying about rent is success. Making a living off music is hard and so I feel like that’s a huge achievement.
Q: What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever bought?
I’m not buying big stuff but I bought a crochet hook and yarn the other day. I am actually using it surprisingly!
Q: What's the most memorable fan encounter you've ever had?
I’ve gotten a couple of people that have tattoos of some of my artwork! Pretty cool
Q: Where and when would you go if you could travel back in time to any moment in history?
Maybe 70’s NYC and go straight to Studio54? It would be cool to see a dinosaur or woolly mammoth too so maybe then.

Little L, Virtual Insanity, Cosmic Heaven – Jamiroquai
Q: What is your philosophy on happiness, and how do you strive to maintain a sense of happiness and well-being?
I think keeping things simple is very important. Exercising, making your bed, and socializing are all super important to me. I try to do things I enjoyed as a 14-year-old as much as possible. (Play football, ride bikes, listen to music, run, etc)
Q: How do you see dance music evolving in the future?
The beauty is you just don’t know where it will go. Generally anytime someone says a trend is about to happen it goes the opposite way! I think we’ll have to wait and see.
Q: If you could switch lives with any other celebrity for a week, who would it be?
Maybe Adam Sandler? Love that guy or Messi?
Q: What's the weirdest thing you've ever Googled?
I googled Thomas the Tank engine standing up today.
