ANYWAY

"I love transforming songs into something completely different. That's the point for me. Otherwise it's just karaoke. Arranging for horns and strings is a dream but my favorite songs are usually punk, rock, and new wave/dark wave etc. That's why the 'Blue Lounge' sound I'm currently doing is perfect. It removes you from the original but is still enticing. I love the camp of it. It evokes a late 60's Vegas era schmaltz that is the antithesis to bangers and video game synths. So drop a Xanex into the punch bowl, take a long drag off whatever, let the holiday Tryptophan wash over your body, and get SEDATED with me this season. There's really too much to think about don't you think?"
