I'm not a very technical musician at all.

I'm very much a fan of having something tactile you can hold.

Any musician - I would say 99% of musicians - needs some help along the way. Most people, even if they're self-produced, have someone else mix it, or they'll have someone else master the record. Inevitably, it's like somebody else's personality being put into your art.

It's very hard to find perfection in your life. But in the art world you can do that.

I have a small studio set up in my house in Athens. I'll wake up, have a nice breakfast, and I won't surface until dinnertime. I'm very domesticated in that way.

I'm very happy in my life, but I do feel that music has a power to transport you to places or to beautiful moments in your past.
