My music and style is basically about me doing whatever I want to do. What I want to do can change about every 5 minutes. That's why my music is hard to follow. That's why I don't have a career. And that's what makes me different from a billion other rappers in the world. Very few people like more than one of my albums, and that's fine by me..I'm thankful if you like at least one song. In the end it's not just about the music, but the personal universe we create with it, and how we share it with others. My universe is one populated by Hindu gods, gothic lolitas, spaceships, vampires, cats, robots, ghosts and everything in between. It is a huge metropolitan area overgrown by trees, a symbiosis of ancient culture and eastern pop. I hope it's a place you can feel comfortable in. Or at least pleasantly uncomfortable...
