Listening Philosophy
"You listen the way some people read literature or drink whiskey - slowly, deliberately, and for meaning."
Mood Over Algorithms
Music to regulate atmosphere - calm, late-night, reflective, focused. Setting a tone, not just putting something on.
Authenticity First
Drawn to voices that sound like real life. Rough edges, gravel, age, pain, honesty - more than perfection.
Musical Craftsmanship
Appreciation for structure, improvisation, restraint, and mastery. Comfortable with complexity and silence.
Cultural Depth
Strong ties to heritage. Identity, memory, and continuity - grounded in origin while exploring everywhere else.
