Recently I had a group conduct an interview to find out details about myself as an artist. They did not provide the official publication of the interview timeframe or platform/ magazine, so I thought to share some of it here.
I composed the following which is a sort of a “window” into my artistic process.
Q: “I would love to learn more about you and your creative process. To help me get a better sense of your vision, could you please share some insight on the following: Besides your music, what do you currently do for a living? How old are you? What drives your artistic style and overall creative direction? Who are the primary musical influences that have shaped your work?“
A//: I have an extensive background in business, finance and administration among other career vocational experience and education.
I volunteer on many non-profits specifically tied to environmental/ nature and the vulnerable sectors, as well as spend a large portion of my time in creative pursuits, including arts.
I am also a writer, digital artist, philosopher with a strong mindfulness advocacy background, photographer, and model.
I just had my birthday (August 2nd), and in the last little while I have worked in some non profits engaged in environmental / nature monitoring, habitat – some in person volunteering as well as some consulting strategy, among other things.
A career workshop for refining and updating my knowledge in the area, and some work with photography both in front and behind the camera. I am also teaching myself the violin, and a few other vocational related aspects.
My artistic style is composed of my own tastes since I was a small child, along my own research and development. I enjoy creating something different, and hence why my music is composed of a blend of categories rather than the usual “niche” found around.
I am a person that enjoys learning and advancing rather than taking from the everyday aspects; I like to look and observe from beyond the noise and commonalities that distract and create the mentality of assumptions for most.
Natural and the less common things, along looking at things from different angles are my focus and artistic persuasions.
I do not have primary musical influences in a sense of individuals per say, however classical, composer/ trailer music and the electronic styles of the 90s are things as mentioned, have attracted me to music.
While not in a high professional degree, I have played multiple instruments over the years, and most commonly music tends to be an important aspect of my everyday life.
Q: “What is your vision when it comes to being a musician, and do you have any prior live performance experience?”
A//: I have a strong background in live and musical theater when young, some dance training – not in a professional level of course, and also in my career background in the non artistic related, public engaging and speaking have been common scenarios.
Also, as a model I have worked many public and live performance scenarios. It is not something I am uncomfortable with, and in a good setting with proper training, something I believe I could master as a musician.
It is hard to say specifics as to me such endeavours are something that develop and evolve with time and getting to know aspects of those I am working with, as well as plans and other like expectations play a key role. Adaptability is an absolute essential aspect of being a professional, and I most certainly are.
Overall, my artistic vision, simply put, is about creating. Blending different aspects of my knowledge and capacities into creative inspiration and solid products that generate revenue as well as create desirability.
A big part of that is a genuine personality and an authentic approach.
Art is a means of both communicating with broader audiences and inspiring others; a means to help people too.
Emotional and integral aspects of self development are shaped by what inspires an individual, and these are things I take great pride and sensitivity to, while using my own story as a source of inspiration for myself.
As a person who has a diverse life story, and has a true compassionate background including working with vulnerable groups, it is things of these sorts that allow me to look at the world somewhat in a different than everyday perspective, and in this manner, bring my artistry and overall craft to not only attract, and create a “feel good” moment, but to drive long term positive impact through every aspect of my being.
A unique life story, a true meaningful way of living life and being creative are perhaps some of the things that make me standout the most, and grant me the ability to be original rather than generic or have a “curated” style of approach which often comes off as a superficial narrative.
I also enjoy greatly the outdoors and exploring in nature, where a lot of my free time is spent. Geometry and less common topics of historical aspects also play a significant role in how I shape my compositions.

Q: “Okay Adonai what is your vision when it comes to your discipline, and do you have any prior live performance experience?”
A//: I completely understand that a well developed craft in itself is a life pursuit, and as a serious career, even more so.
All things in life are a commitment, and take great effort, even “wasting time” or poorly investing it.
The difference is made in both that awareness, and the dedication towards things that enrich one’s life.
Being able to fine tune to personal needs and honest self evaluation definitely make the process far more fulfilling and aid to true “success”.
Easier said than done of course, but again dedication and commitment do pay off when properly placed, and when maintaining oneself in constant refinement of processes and methods.
I do comprehend fully art it is not a “vacation” but a career, and that if I am passionate about what I do, I can too enjoy it.
The definition of joy is not per say on situations, circumstances nor on others and their personality/ selves and or actions, but my own mindset.
As I recently had a conversation with someone and highlighted a key aspect of life: You can have circumstances and situations that logically make you sad, upset, distraught, etc., yet still choose to have inner peace, happiness, fulfilment.
It is not a facial expression, or open for judgement of opinions, nor something to fake, but a true feeling in how one sees life ahead, and invests themselves to their abilities, capacities, situations, feelings. You are allowed to deny toxic people,environments, to even see and state situations, however to be consumed emotionally isan individual choice.
The lack of situations that “merit” unpleasant feelings are really not the measure of.
Hence the abundance of envy like actions and the deflections, right along the attempts to spread misery, harm, and pose as a happy, fulfilled, successful, and even advocate that it is a means of standing up, self defence, and in the more cynical a self boost – “energy acquiring”.
Denial is a drug, and addicts simply cannot accept reality as it is acknowledgement, even when aware, as they believe others cannot see the facts; the same go on assuming on what is and isn’t of those things/ people they obsess about, ironically. It’s a cycle.
In fewer words, facial/ social displays do not correlate to true state of being, and behaviours aren’t naturally in correlation to circumstance. One can be happy and at peace while circumstances do not favor, as there are a lot of people who smile a lot, have no reasons to, yet live in misery and project it onto others through open and hidden actions constantly while attempting to deflect the facts.
