I took inspiration from the somewhat schizophrenic yet entertaining behavior of a few cats I've owned who purr for attention and then sink their teeth into you without reason or warning.

I want to strongly discern that Kenny is not only a skilled multi-disciplinary musician, but someone I see as a generational talent...
No matter what type of art you produce, you can learn from the past, and there may be aesthetics you cannot reproduce on modern digital software...
I love going into sets, not knowing what to expect, and being positively impressed by a performing artist. Smino is absolutely someone I would see again...
I think it's just really hard to find a band name. I feel like a connection to it. It just kind of was intuitive...
