Q: Your greatest inspirations or influences?
I’m driven by contrast — the emotional gaps between silence and chaos, softness and violence. I find stories in those in-between spaces. My background in art and journalism taught me how to look deeply, and being self-taught in music lets me express without rules. I’m always seeking beauty where people overlook it — in imperfection, confusion, vulnerability.
Q: How is the current world around you part of your artistic process?
The world is constantly shaping me. I absorb things — people, places, politics, overheard words on a train — and they live inside my process. I don’t separate my life from my art. They melt into each other, and my work becomes a reflection of the time I live in, the energy I’m surrounded by.
But if you refer specially to the current world… which is very uncertain and chaotic — secretly, I can be pretty political and opinionated. Still, through my music and art, I try to create a safe space. A space of care, especially for my community. Sometimes the world feels too big, and we feel helpless… but when I come back to my computer, listen to music, and make music, I can at least escape from the noise for a while.
Q: Tell us about your creative process.
It starts from chaos — messy recordings from the street, concerts, random noises that catch my emotion. I gather fragments: sound, visuals, feelings. But when I sit down at my laptop, I shift into focus — I try to transmit that raw energy into form. It doesn’t always follow my intention. Sometimes the music tells me where it wants to go.
Q: How do you combine your music with your art practice?
They’re two limbs of the same body. My visual and sonic work feed into each other — both ritualistic, both searching for emotional transformation. I see my sets and installations as emotional spaces, like ceremonies. Sound and image, for me, are just different textures of the same feeling.
When I create music, I often visualize the cover, the music video, or an entire cinematic world around it. And when I work on visual art — especially immersive or digital pieces — I use my own sound design to pull people into the space fully. It’s all about immersion and emotional depth, guiding the viewer into an inner world where sound and image breathe together.
Q: How do you feel about AI, as it relates to the art world?
I use AI more like a collaborator — not to make music for me, but to help sort out my ideas, analyze chord progressions, or expand a concept I already have. It’s like having a really sharp assistant who helps me reflect or clarify things. I believe we can live and create together with AI only if we collaborate wisely, not overuse it or let it replace our human chaos and magic.
Q: Do you feel artists have a responsibility to be activists for a better world?
Absolutely. Especially now — the world feels more uncertain, and people are scared, disconnected. Art can raise awareness, challenge injustice, and also comfort. Artists can hold both rage and hope in the same hand. We have a voice. We should use it.
Q: Anything else you would like to share with us?
We just have to keep living, and keep creating. Maybe art won’t always feed us bread, but it will stop us from falling into despair. Art helps us survive ourselves — and that’s powerful enough.
