I wanna be more of a pop public figure, iconic kinda dude.

Anime is something I loved to watch as a kid.

I wasn't rapping and freestyling in high school. I wasn't telling people I was gonna be a rapper when I was a little kid. It wasn't set in stone that it was my dream.

I always have been very musically influenced because of my dad. He had a very big record collection, so I dabbled in different genres.

Creativity can only be anarchic, capitalist, Darwinian.

Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.

People have always said that I could have been a highly successful pop artist, if only that were my intention. It never was. My original intention was to be a kind of behind-the-scenes participant in music, to just be a record producer and engineer. And I made a record for myself just so I could have an outlet for my musical ideas.

I was doing quite well in Malaysia... Everyone was so excited about my music, and they started accepting me as an artist.
