The first single from my upcoming album Parallel World is called “SENNA” and it’s out now! The song is produced by my good friend, electronic musician Jacques Greene. What can I say about JG? His dedication to his craft has inspired me a lot over the years. Collaboration is all about trust. For my first three albums, I made 95% of the beats myself because I didn’t think that anyone else could understand my vision. When I moved to Toronto, Jacques was one of the first people I linked up with. We already knew each other from DJing afterparties in Montréal. One day we drank some tea at his place and came up with “The Host” and “High Rise” from my self-titled album pretty much right away.
