Hoshin: I love to grow. In growing, balance looks more like flow; it looks like movement and steadiness in chaos. My faith does that for me. Right now I’m learning to capitalize on mornings— to create routine and habits that set me up for the rest of the day. That means that I’m eating well, listening to my physical body, and allowing the processing that I’ve done in my sleep to manifest on paper so that I can move on.

Jaymz Nylon: What is more important, the sharing of music or the format in which music is shared?
Hoshin: The sharing— it makes the music come alive. Art needs witnesses. Artists need witnesses.
