Artist Statement
Title: SYNESTHESIA no 9
Timbaland has been an inspiration to me since before I even made music. I was a dancer growing up and used to listen to his tracks and dance/make art to them all the time. It is such a full circle moment for me to make art in collaboration with someone that has inspired me for most of my life. I wanted to make something that represents my synesthesia and how I see music when I close my eyes. I used a handful of techniques to bring the beat to life and make it easy to visualize. Big thanks to Time and Timbaland for letting me be a part of this amazing moment!
