You grew up in Canada and you have previously said that you were influenced by your Dad and his Jamaican-style hip hop, so what did you grow up listening to as a kid? I’d sit on the beat for a while and then eventually as I’m sitting on it, I’ll keep writing and just knock it out in a few hours. How did Dark Light come about? I mean, what’s your creative process or formula when it comes to making songs? ![]() It was just like the beat I was sitting on.
