What inspires you?

What DOESN'T inspire me?

When did you know you were going to be an artist?

4 years ago. I was drifting and needed a space to express and innovate. I needed a platform for me to understand myself and the world around me, and in return, give a voice to ideas and thought for others.

Where can people find you?

Playing In the sun. Toying with fire. In water. Climbing things. In my guitar. In my notebook. Reading a graphic novel. At a new restaurant. In the refrigerator. At a grocery store. In a kitchen cooking. On my bike. In a bottle of wine. At a micro brew. Everywhere. Nowhere!

What’s next?

Southeast Asia. Making a Band. Making movies. Architecture. Writing Short stories. Poetry. The Banjo. Drums. The Mandolin. Scotch. Brewing Beer. Sitcoms. Directing. Business Design

Anything else?

Yes.
