I made a Twitter account when I was 10 years old. I wasn't even trying to be funny. I was still tweeting in Indonesian. I didn't really speak English yet.
At one point, I had more friends on the Internet than I did in real life.
In my opinion, an album has a story from start to finish and has a concrete concept.
I want to write from my own experience.
Indonesian people don't get satire; that's the thing. There's no thought in our humor.
I'm really about seeing people and art for what they are. Like, seeing people as humans and seeing art.
I like what Dumbfoundead and Awkwafina are doing, but I think I'm just trying to do something different.
It took me a while to figure out the U.S. sense of humor, a lot of trial and error. I would write down jokes to casually tell my American friend over Skype to see which ones he'd laugh at.
When you listen deeply to a song, you find all the little sounds they use and subconsciously learn how to produce and mix.
One thing about Indonesians is that a lot of them, even if they don't understand English, have absolutely no problem memorizing English songs. Even my dad.
I feel like kids naturally love guns, so I was drawn to that.
I'm really not a materialistic person.
My brother was the first to be home-schooled, and one reason they home-schooled me was so he wouldn't get jealous. Another thing is my mom noticed that I would stress out a lot about school. I would ask my teacher how good my grades were and think about that all the time.
Being home-schooled, you really get to explore your hobbies, what you want to do for a living.
