in January 2020 I called Herbie Hancock on the phone. after asking a bunch of obvious fan questions, i asked for advice about a particular heavy concept i had for a song. He asked me, "have you thought of the people you could potentially hurt with this idea?" i said, "i have." after our conversation i realized how i could change this concept positively and decided to celebrate myself and my lineage rather than ultimately focus on the violence that had been enacted upon me.
