“It is, at its root, an angst ridden ‘fuck you’ song.  The commercialisation of the world, of objects, of people and now data is mind numbing to watch. I pity this generation of intelligent, social, tech-savvy zombies… growing up with a wall of possibility and hopeless anxiety in front of them”

“I would like people to think harder. That’s my main message. About themselves. About the world. About life in general. About relationships.

“Is the concept of being “X” the same as the initial vision you had when you came up with the title “Becoming X” with Sneaker Pimps? No. My personal X is much more emotional and real to me. It is my art, love, holy grail. This project belongs to me. It is a statement of disconnecting and growing up. I became X. They didn’t.”

“...Sometimes it feels like we do have our own little movement going, but then I switch on the TV and am reminded of the scale of the creative enemy. It's a shock, but we all need something to fight against and keep us busy.”

“There is a layer of overlooked black humour which is very important for me. It may not sound funny when you listen to it but I am hysterical behind the microphone. I mean, everything is so fucked up it’s just hilarious.”
