I was in art school, and we had all these random classes. We'd listen to a lot of Bollywood. I'd listen to Spanish music - and I don't even speak Spanish, but Hector Lavoe is amazing - we listened to French music like Edith Piaf. She's tight. I like cool vocal inflections; I like cool sounds. I pretty much listen to anything I think is good.

Singer-songwriter is a very broad term and I want to make music that’s grounded in guitar and vocals but adding cool production can really transform a track.

Alexandre Dumas
