Undertaking is for me — it can be a distinct automobile to convey myself, I guess, artistically with genuinely no boundaries, but leaning a lot more toward, musically, I feel, coming at it as an educated teen. What I signify by that is it can be the hearth of that teen — that drive, that type of audio that I was enjoying 30 decades ago — but now doing it with the experience, the know-how and all that. So it’s type of like revisiting the past, in a way, or heading residence in some means.”
