No.1 How would you describe this week in a sentence?
I would say it was chaotically boring.
It was a fun week, but in a sentence I would- actually not in a sentence, it's just one word, it was pure chaos, but very boring chaos.
No.2 An artwork that inspired you this week. It can be anything, music, a movie, whatever.
I did go to a museum on my visit to Washington DC, the Natural History Museum, and the Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals was very inspiring. There was also an exhibit of asteroids, the moon and the stars, where we could actually touch an asteroid. The artwork and exhibits there were absolutely crazy. Because I love writing about the moon and the stars and I include those words and sentences into my music, touching an actual asteroid was really fun and inspiring.
No.3 A memorable moment from this week.
It was my mom's birthday on Friday and I think she had a great day. After being very reluctant to go to a museum, I think that was a very memorable moment from the week, and very special.
And then a two-part question, feel free to answer one or two-
No.4 A motto you swear by, or any advice you received and would love to share.
Something that people often tell me, some professors and teachers have always told me, [is] - Your way up will always have people around you. Always be kind, always be grounded and never forget your roots, even when you're at the highest level of your career or your peak. That's one, and another one is - Always notice the beauty in every single chaotic moment of your life, because there's always something to be grateful about.
These are things that some people have told me here and there, which is fun to know. Mottos that I swear by.
No.5 What would you like to share about Bin Kahe or any upcoming projects?
The one thing I would really like to share about Bin Kahe is that it's a project that I did completely without overthinking it. Usually, as an artist, I overthink every single project of mine and it's like, "Is the mix good enough? Oh my god I have to do another mix?" With Bin Kahe, it was so quick [and] so easy, because that feeling was with me for so long that it just came out easily in the song and everything was done within a week. It was released within a week. I wrote it on a Monday and on Friday it was out, which is a very rare phenomenon for me.
I always love to include vocal samples and live samples into my music, that's something I would like to share. And upcoming projects… I do have an EP coming soon. I have not named it so I am not going to tell you what it is about, but I do have an EP coming soon and a couple of singles, which is really fun. But yeah, that's about that.
