Q: Briefly talk about the process of creating your tracks.

I wrote barn buddies for gems living at the barn. I wanted to capture that iconic old country feel. So I used stuff like acoustic guitar and violin to hammer that feeling home. I also combined it with some chiptune sounding synths to try and remain true to the sound of Steve Universe. This track also has a bit of interesting history, as this version y'all heard on the album is fairly new. I wrote the original version of this song around the same time as In the Depths and it had a lot more electric guitar. However, because of my lack of experience the original turned out pretty bad. Very little of original song remains but you can still hear bits of the original melody. It was super cool for CJ to let me come back and redo it and make a better version of the song.

Q: What's your favourite Steven Universe song?

My favorite song has got be Stronger Than You. The moment it plays in the show is probably the most cathartic experience I've ever seen on television

Q: And what were your favourite moment(s) in the show?

My favorite moment is when Steven fuses with himself after being split by white diamond. Seeing his entire arc culminate in him being able to be truly himself was really powerful and meant a lot to me.
