ANNEX Since your first big single with Flo-Rida, what’re some new and interesting places your career has taken you? Ive been all over Europe ,I especially loved the romatic architechture in paris , Ive been to the middle east and Egypt , Ive gotten to ride horses through the desert and touch the pyramids.. Given myself a body mud bath in the dead .. explored the ocean in the carrabean . Touring definantly has its perks ANNEX You just released your 2nd EP ‘Human Condition: Sanguine’, describe the feel of the project and your progression as an artist, considering your last project was back in July? Sanguine means optimistic , its different because its alot more hopeful but the same because its just a fusion of all the genres of music that ive come to love since I was a kid ..its a cluster fuck of sound ,I just let the music pour out . Im back in the studio working on the third installment which has a clear sound and feel to it.. Its where I see myself living for a while ..it feels like home . ANNEX How would you describe your personal style of Pop? I call it alternative synth pop.. my own twist on indie pop ANNEX On Human Condition: Doleo EP, you have a song with Travis Scott titled ‘Nervous’, how did that record come about? Tell us about the recording process, chemistry, etc? I met Travis scott through my friend Marcus Williams ( who also goes by his art name Nephilim Giant ) . One day I happened to go by the studio and Travis was playing some beats and songs for his friends and I was just quietly sitting in the back with my hat pulled down low . he was so animated and excited .. and his music was really good .. I really felt his vibe and artisrty and felt safe enough to play him some of my new material that I was experimenting with . I played stimela , Reachout and tomorrow and right then and there we both became fans of eachothers work . he says he will produce something for me and I hope that happens soon ANNEX When you made ‘Dirty Talk’ did you know it would become a #1 single? No I didnt .. every artist wants that but there not prepared for the moment it actually happens . ANNEX Considering you’re from Queens, do you still live in New York? If so, what’re your favorite places to eat? I live in New york ... If I move it will be a drastic move , like to a country they dont speak english . my favorite place to eat is miss lilys . if you go there and tell Dennis I sent you , you will get a great table .
