"In service of the music, I live to serve the music. Music is the higher-power, it is a form of divinity, it is the otherland. I act as a vessel. The music is manifestation of magic; it is addictive, intoxicating, it overtakes. Hear the whisper of something more. Be prolific, songs were a sermon. This is where I exist, the world I want to build myself in. Rockstar meets fairy. Sand through your fingertips. My own little magic."
