Where do you live?

I live in New York, and take a lot of trips.

What is your personal soundtrack at the moment?

My parents are from Africa so they raised my brothers and I are a lot of quality jams. I suppose my personal soundtrack is composed of Jaluka, Savuka, Johnny Clegg. I have long extended periods of classical listening. Currently I've been listening to a lot of Vashti Bunyan, Will Oldham, Neil Young, The Sea & Cake, and always Bob Dylan. Captain Beefhart & Television, too, and a lot of friends music they make.

Your star sign? Leo the Lion

Who is your style icon?

I don't really know. That's a hard question. I suppose someone who I consider a style icon could be Joan Didion, I like her style. Isabelle Huppert. Emma Thompson? Having three brothers influences me, perhaps.

What do you do or what would you like to do when you grow up?

Most of my work is within the fashion industry, but I like to do films, make things, and I like to write. I'd like to go to school to specialize. Someday when I "grow up" I'd love to publish a play. There's a lot of interesting things I would like to do in the future.

Weird shit. well, I say that... I like psychedelic things. lots of
Dungen recently. I just picked up this amazing compilation of West
African Psych from the 1970's. I don't know, typically anything which
makes me sound extra cool. like right now, someone is saying "West
African Psych... who is this dickhead?" and you know, that's cool.

I used to want to be an architect. working in photography at the

some shocking/confusing fact, like "First Runner Up, Champion Goat
Handler, Comal County Fair, 2031". or even something simple like
"Inappropriately intoxicated whilst in the company of the Duke and
Dutchess of York. Additionally, urinating publicly in a Royal
fountain." something like that.
