A throughline
I’ve been drawn to the same place my whole life... the intersection of art and science.
I had my first piano lesson at six, though apparently I’d been gravitating toward musical instruments long before that. At school, I did my work experience at an architecture practice. I think I’d still make a good architect... it’s art and science in one. Then my first Mac, which opened up a world of possibilities for me. Then a music production degree, which gave me the tools to turn songs into recordings. Design followed from there. Not as a plan, but as a natural extension of the same instinct.
When I was sixteen, I did my Grade 8 piano exam. I was technically accomplished, but I was playing other people's music. Something shifted when I started writing my own. Music became a way of processing, channelling, and being my true self. A light in the dark as I became who I am.
That’s still what making things means to me.
