“Outlier' came together pretty quickly. There's no real telling why tha...” — Bonobo Quote

Outlier' came together pretty quickly. There's no real telling why that happens, sometimes the thing is just more intricate and takes longer you know, there's actual labour to be done in terms of sound design whereas other things are much freer.

People don't necessarily know who I am. Some people think Bonobo is a band.

Ninja has definitely kind of changed its identity since it first started out. Ninja back in the day was always turntables and jazz and sampling and electronica. But over time, it's become quite diverse and open to songwriting in a variety of forms.

I never used to be able to work on the road, I was always strictly in the studio. But not everything's gotten smaller - I have Ableton on the laptop now and a sample library, which means I can use that downtime to pour it into the music.

My aspiration isn't to be famous; it's to design clothes. If that gets me attention at the end of the day, cool.

Design is about creating spaces for people to enjoy and of course, creating moments where you elevate the spirit, but 'design for good' is figuring out a program that not only creates better spaces, but creates jobs, creates new industry and really kind of raises the conversation about how we rebuild.

I studied digital arts and graphic design, and then, at the same time I was studying, I was still doing auditions.

I moved to New York and went to art school at Parsons School of Design. Became a photographer. Became a creative consultant.
