My faith is a tool I employ, a metaphorical context I find apt, but it is inert until placed in a hand that needs it.

I've always been into computers. When I was getting out of high school and forming my identity musically, all of it was really coming into the fold, computers and drum machines. It felt like, you know, I'm in the right place at the right time. I like...
