There are many people who say they are interested in music, there are some people for whom music is a profession, but for me, music is a form of discipline.

音樂對很多人來說是興趣,對某些人來說是職業,而對我來說音樂是種修練。

Music was the first thing I seriously sat down and learned. I often joke with friends that with the energy I spent on music, I could have gone to Harvard. Because without being an expert in any musical instrument, I can make a complete song. I want to show people like me who don’t know how to play musical instruments but still want to make music what it’s possible to do.

音樂是我第一個真的能認真坐下來學習的東西,我常跟朋友說如果我用作音樂的態度去讀書,我一定能上哈佛,因為到目前為止沒有專精任何樂器的我,已經可以製作一首完整的歌,我的初衷就是想幫助那些像我一樣不會樂器但也想玩音樂的人,證明給他們看其實這都是可以的。

Anything is possible–if you have a dream, just go do it! Only after trying do you knows what your problems are, what you need to work on. Otherwise it’s not called a “dream,” it’s just a “fantasy.”

反觀任何事情也是如此,有夢想就要去做,做了才知道問題在哪,不然那不叫夢想,它只是你的空想或幻想而已。

My friends often think I’m strong for sticking to my dreams but for me, music is no longer a “dream”, it’s my one reality.

朋友常覺得我很厲害堅持自己的夢想到現在,我說音樂已經不是我的夢想,它是我的一件事。

“Grey Area” is a song I suddenly thought up one day. While daydreaming, I suddenly had the awareness I was feeling authentic feelings in an inauthentic world. And that living in everyday reality, we have to do many inauthentic things. Between the two, I felt I was in a “grey area.”

《灰色地帶》這首歌寫的是我其中一天的夢境,處於一個知道自己在一個不真實的世界但卻感受到非常真實的感覺;另一個是在現實生活中我們自己也作過許多不真實的夢。這兩者對我來說都是一樣的,在兩者之間我稱它為灰色地帶。
