1. Where are we talking from today? A. Miami, Florida.
2. Where did you get your artist name from? A. It’s my name. The Collective Bus part is from the word Colectivo, which is a type of bus commonly found in parts of South America. The idea of a rotating cast of players, sans myself of course.
3. Music wise what are you working on right now? Are you currently promoting a single or album? A. There are a few different projects floating in the stratosphere. I write constantly. My last single Take A Chance as well as my entire catalog can be on Spotify though.
4. Who or what were the most significant influences on your musical life and career? A. Michiro Endo of The Stalin has had the biggest impact on me as a performer. Musical influences depend on what I’m working on, but I always go back to Stevie Wonder, Mitski, Neil Cicierega. More importantly, I owe a lot to my family and friends who push me to be a better person, which matters the most to me.

8. What is your idea of perfect happiness? A. When your unconscious self has been satisfied enough that it lifts you into an alternate state of being. One of humility and grace.
