I see so much magic all the time, whether it be sleight of hand tricks, performers, disappearing acts, communication and mimicry from afar. It's such beautiful, cool, scary things. Magic isn't just for fairytales but for the guy who disappears from the neighbourhood when he's running from the cops...
Yeah, I converted three years ago. My grandfather converted in prison during his 44 year stint. It kinda just trickled down for me...
I feel like I have a levity of things that go on. Some people want to talk about serious stuff, some people want to talk about diarrhea, but I want to treat both situations the same in how I approach them...
Each song in the album chronicles a different part of my life during that time, and ultimately captured the beginning and end of my first queer relationship - which inspired many lyrics in this album...
My spiritual practice and my musical practice are intertwined at this point. It’s completely natural for me to be an artist merged with my spiritual inner world, but I’m just now attempting to communicate publicly about it...
From a computer science standpoint, the Protocol is open-source. Medically, it’s individualized to the patient. I would like to explain this better, but the more I elaborate on the Protocol, the more specific I get, the less I think that statement would be true...
I’ve always wanted to make my own music purposeful in luring the listener either further into themselves or conversely, further beyond themselves...
LMAO hell yea I got some crazy song titles I can go off on which ones are some of my favorite. It's gotta be Gentrify Water, J Train Cyberpolice, Kingdom Hearts In Bisexual Atlanta...
I started out making hip-hop beats and sing a lullaby songs on those beats in my bedroom from 1999 to 2001 - I would say I am one of the first to make music in my bedroom...
Their visual imagery on album art is some of my favourite in the underground scene, with 'Shrines' depicting an NYPD officer grappling down the side of a building in Harlem looking into a window at a 425-pound tiger...
On some psychotic episodes, I catch myself hallucinating cameras on the corners of my bedroom, broadcasting to a non-existent audience my suffering, as if it were just a theatrical performance. Just because all that suffering by itself lacks purpose, feels empty...
It’s a lot to ask nowadays, but we’d love for people to listen to the record as a whole since we made it with the intention of flowing like in full from start to finish.

Walking around a music festival with a camera is always an experience...
Center stage were several instruments, including guitars, keyboards, synths, sequencers, and much more. Seamlessly, FKJ flowed between all of these inputs, performing in a unique/multi-faceted set.
Daniel's set had some of the most intense use of bass I’d ever experienced - being right next to the stage it shook my entire body. The others in the pit were looking at each out like ‘holy s***...’
I think more than anything, me making music came purely from expression. All growing up I was definitely not an artist or anything like that. It was more of a recent thing...
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...
