“Inspiration comes from everything. It can by any situation, person, place, memory. It can literally come from anything – it all depends on what I want to say through it. I usually get inspired from listening to melodies. I hear a beat and then I get a thousand ideas. I then start experimenting to create something new and start writing something about a memory and translate it to a melody that says what I want.”

While growing up, Farrell was a victim of bullying. On this, he says: “It was a very complicated process. I was bullied physically and verbally. A lot of insecurities were unleashed but today I’m over them. I got to get over it thanks to therapy and accepting myself little by little. There was a lot of introspection, forgiving those who hurt me and forgiving me for punishing myself. It was difficult but not impossible.”
