What inspired you to create these songs? 

The album ‘ICON’ was inspired by the WARHOL quote,

”in the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes”

the idea of being famous for being famous,celebrity,idols,the new religion.Did we create God,gods with our fertile imaginations,as a way of describing the world around us, plus science fiction.

Tarantino movies are all added to the mix.
