- Favorite month of the year and why?
- There's something to like about them all. But i like the March - September stretch the most (warm weather enjoyer and American holiday hater). November in the pearl river delta slapped tho

- I have no innate musical talent...no training or sense of rhythm whatsoever. Amateur at singing tho, and I've been singing the wheels on the bus twice a week for money to sold-out venues for the last 5 yrs so any trace of stage fright I might've had is long gone

- Different answer every day. Recently leaning towards speaking tho bc no one talks to me at this job
