Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Rawness and vulnerability.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Scavenge beats/production for pockets to explore in the writing. Record several different melodies until cadences feel natural. If I have a specific topic in mind, abstract it into a transferrable metaphor and begin creating the story of the song. If I don't have a topic in mind, generally I abstract my sentiments into a metaphor and tell that story. I normally try not to write songs in one sitting because I like for each song to breathe and mature throughout its process. How long a song takes to finish writing depends completely on its subject. The process for every song is different and can't be formulized but these are typical routines during my writing sessions.
