PEACELOADED TV: Do you collaborate with others? What is that process?

MEKA E: Music collaboration is brilliant (sometimes difficult) Anyone in a band can tell you all about it…
Collaboration is an extra pair of ears, hands, and an additional brain to work with. It gives you tips into someone else’s workflow. It helps you overcome creative blocks.

PEACELOADED TV: Please explain your creative process What’s an average day like for you?

MEKA E: If am to say how my creative process goes like. Firstly I have to get myself prepared, get idea to immerse myself in the domain, I have to listen to music that inspires me, from it I create a new piece of my own. And when I does that its normally best carried out in a quiet environment. It’s really this stage that i try to absorb as much information as possible because this information will go into my sub-consciousness
