In your latest single we can hear a piano centric instrumental uppon a downtempo rnb beat mixed with melodic vocals. Tell us a few things about it.

Yes, this song is produced by Oli of Temper Beats from the UK. This sound actually inspired my singing in the song. Its hypnotic and sensual yet mysterious and a little spooky.

What is your creative process like?

I usually record my music at 3AM when the world is a little less noisy and calmer. It helps with me accessing that part of the creative celestial wireless. I write my songs using a voice recorder on my phone then I write it out on a notepad and tweak it.

What first got you into music?

I used to write poetry for my classmates in elementary school. One day, a schoolmate asked if I would be interesting in writing a song for him to perform. He never performed it but it inspired me to start writing and performing.

Do you have an artist that you would describe as a hidden gem that we should know about?

There is a french artist called Flex. I really like his sound and his bravery.

Is Spotify the music industry’s new Gatekeepers?

Spotify is good for what its worth but I think they need to get better with paying artists their fair due. You could have a song with over 10k streams and get less than $2 for it. I still prefer selling physical copies.

Favorite film ever?

This is a very tough question to answer. I love movies. I am a cinemaphile. I really loved that new Batman movie but I am also a fan of The Room by Tommy Weiseau. I cannot just select one movie…

One last thing we should know about you?

Music is like therapy for me, I wish to make my music therapeutic for you and the listeners as well. I hope you will join me on this journey of sound. Follow me on Twitter @SigmaSXM

Thank you!

Describe your sound in 3 words

A mixture of sadness, triumph and experimentation.

Tell us a few things about your new song. What is the story behind it?

Birds having flown is about realizing my mortality. Knowing that I could go at any moment and asking for understanding and forgiveness for my past transgressions. This year, I lost some of my closest friends to suicide and freak accidents. These were people so full of life and ambition. These deaths made me realize more than ever that I could go at any time. Without warning. Recorded this on my ipad Pro, then sent it off to Grammy nominated engineer Beauvallis for mixing and mastering.

For which lyric you are most proud of?

I have a line where I say “Soul seeking but the reasoning was girls, how I changed it up so you could get the pearls, if I take it back then its an admission of guilt.” On this I realized how much of my life was about sex with women and how I used that to acknowledge my manhood and importance. I want the listener to learn from my experience that this is not a true route to happiness. And that I shouldn’t feel guilty for the things I did.

Favourite album of the past decade?

I have a few that I play on repeat but Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy would have to be number

What is the biggest challenge you have faced as an artist so far?

The biggest challenge would be getting people to listen to my music. Everyone is attracted to the visuals and my persona but they dont take the time to listen to my music.

In which state of mind do you imagine people might listen to your music?

In any state of mind honestly. I have tracks for party for sex for driving for smoking, different things for different times.

You’d give up making music for…

I couldnt give up music for anything. Take my tongue, I will pen songs and make beats.

Thank you!
