1: I've always loved music, even if I didn't always have the desire to create it. At some point, I picked up the guitar and that was it. I made Instrumental music at first, but my pivot to Alternative Pop was a rather incidental one. It's just what came natural to me when writing lyrics. As for that process, it really depends from song to song. Sometimes an idea will pop into my head, sometimes a melody or a phrase, and I'll work on it till it turns into something more. I think, over time, I've learned to better visualize what it is that I want to make, so the whole process is a lot smoother for sure.

2: Most definitely! Even if it's a song that never comes out, just the making of it brings me peace (and rage, from time to time).

3: I think it's easy to let yourself get lost in the idea of what you want a song to be, as opposed to what it could be. Sometimes your first idea sucks, and you gotta to let go of it to create what you really want to create.
