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...

Name credit goes to the Wu-Tang Name Generator (the same one that named Donald Glover “Childish Gambino)...
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...
The idea is, by observing and embodying distant pasts, to turn towards the music of the future...

I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing. And maybe I will make that apple pie after all...
I don't know how I've gone this long without seeing Kendrick or Keem. I was supposed to photograph one of their shows back in Vancouver in 2022...
