Being a loner and always with difficulties on making friendships, possibly due to having A.D.H.D. , the “one man band” or multi-instrumentalist seemed to be the natural way to make his music.
The modern technologies offered endless opportunities to experiment with new sounds. Claims that he doesn’t make Electronic Music, makes Music with assistance of electronic gadgets.
