Steff: yeah, I've tried experimenting with different things. But again, when you've spent a long time being treated as though you're worthless, it's hard to accept when someone thinks you're worth something. So when someone says "You're a good person, you do great things" it's like a huge panic, I think "they're just lying", etc. I don't know how to explain it, but I know it's just confidence on my part that I really need to gain, and baggage that I really need to lose. You know... "believe in yourself!", "don't be a perfectionist!", etc. Easier said than done, but whatever. I'm sure some day I'll get there. I believe there's some good people in my life right now, creating a positive influence, really giving me encouragement, etc.
And for sure I'll do some more spoken word stuff. I have plenty of lyrics already written up from years ago that I never recorded... just have to wait for the "right mood" and for a lot of that stuff to go out of regular circulation.
Besides that, I just want to come back with better ideas, better influence, etc. Lately I'm on an IDM and indie rock kick... let's see how much of that influence I can arm-twist in to the producers I work with?

Nikkita, will you ever come to Europe to perform your songs live at one of the big events? That would be great.
Probably never.

But it's sweet of you to think that.
