AW: How has your life changed since the mixtape?

EM: I think it’s changed in the way that at least I’m doing something that I like, and I’m making a living out of it. When I [moved to] England, I used to play music of course, but I used to have a secondhand shop too. But I know that selling in a shop was not the kind of thing that I was supposed to be doing. It was simply because of the situation. Now, I’m doing things that I like, and I’m earning a living out of it. So I’m so glad about it!
