The golf swing is very, very rhythmic. There's a certain tempo to it, just like in music.
I really didn't try to make an effort to make urban music, but I am a product of my inspirations.

I do have a big problem with the idea of music as a form of communication unless it's political - and that's where it's tricky because a lot of music is political, even if it's not overtly so. But my music isn't that; it's about a feeling.
I like mantras and repeating things, like in pop music, where you repeat a line over and over again. It's just so beautiful.
'Have You in My Wilderness,' the title track, is about the idea of possessing a person, or saying, 'You're mine; you're in my world now.' I was drawn to that as an idea less from my own experience than from listening to music written by men that was kind of male gaze-y.

My inspiration comes from so many things, it is hard to give credit to one. I find music of all kinds to be a great inspiration. A melody or a lyric can fire my imagination. Exercise is another.
