The best thing about Berlin was that I got to be surrounded by people who pursue their ideas for themselves.

When I was in bands, I always liked the demo best.

What I discovered in Berlin was this immense freedom because it felt like you could start any kind of project and nobody would care... and that's what I sort of adopted to my own.

I have a difficult relationship with jazz. My parents really love it, and I went to a school where jazz was considered the best thing ever, so I had to leave it be for a long time. But now I'm rediscovering it. I'm approaching jazz in a different way.

I'm very happy that I got introduced to music only as something you got pleasure from.

My parents were very relaxed about music.
