Music was a religion I committed to very young. Anything you’ve committed your life to creatively is like that. The language I’ve learned throughout this experience, the feelings I’ve developed, the understanding of my higher self. My deepest self satisfactions come from sounds i make with MY hand and MY voice. The amount of times where I unintentionally fasted because i was so committed to sounds is ridiculous, but that’s true love. Anybody in or out of my life at this point can say i was always working towards progressing in this religion. I feel god in the synths, the drums, the bass…i feel a higher power flowing through my blood when the speakers are loud and the stage is my church, my masjid, my temple. Where i can present the god in me, Through the trauma I’ve felt the only way i can properly express myself is through sounds. This journey is a lifelong love story.
