Influences and Inspiration

I have a wide pool of influences. On the film side, directors Wes Anderson and Michel Gondry are two of my favourites. On the music side, I draw my muse from trip-hop, electronica, folk, rock and jazz bands. In terms of pure inspiration, poetry, travelling, art, nature and great food are all important sources. I believe that creativity never begins and ends with just one medium.
