I'm fortunate I have this coterie of musicians around me to help take music to next level. Being surrounded by so much creative energy, so many creative people really feeds that creativity in me.

Happy music doesn't tend to move me much.

I feel fortunate about being able to make the music I want to make and getting away with it.

But I can't really say there is too much modern music that I'm blown away by at this moment.

I believe when we’re able to fully own and express ourselves, we are able to tap into a creative power deeply rooted from our sexual energy – which is our creative energy. We’re so sexually loose, and also sexually strained. We don’t understand the creative power we have because we’re so busy using it in all the wrong ways – or worse, not using it at all.

I think my Buddhist practice has a profound influence on my life and encompasses my creative projects.
