The first computer I ever had the chance of using was my family's HP Compaq DC7100 running Windows XP and that clean yet primitive UI design had a very big impact on me...

I had all these strange pieces of audio, from conversations w/ my friends, snippets of old medical films, warped acoustic noise, and chaotic synthesized recordings, and they all struck me a certain way...
Music is emotion. Whether happy or sad, it's just a way of helping you deal with them and set the record straight about yourself...
Plus we're all having midlife crises and doing this was cheaper than buying a Miata or getting TRT therapy...
I’ve been lucky that I’ve always had more ideas for music than time to produce them all, so in the beginning, it was easy. I was releasing 15-20 tracks a year, and labels were eating them up...
Given JPEGMAFIA's notoriety our expectations were high for his live performance...

Again, like last year, this is my neurodivergent, smooth-brain Zoomer opinion, so if you don't like my picks, I can't help you (and you don't like good music)...

I wanted it to feel like acceptance. Saying acceptance makes it feel a bit stiff, when really the vibe is like, f*** yeah everybody, hell yeah, and if you can’t get down with this, f*** off...

I think internet is the influence that has the most inspiration, saturation of information is something I love and try to replicate on my music...

This was one of Lil Tjay's first performances following his recovery from being shot seven times in an attempted robbery & his live show didn't disappoint...
