“ I had acute appendicitis and nearly died at 27; my work pre and post this shows quite a dramatic change. Before it was bubblegum-pop musical land with larger than life characters, after it took a darker turn with schoolyard fantasies of bullies as wolves, a time traveling killer and Rouge Amour.”
