The inspiration for ImPerFecTion came about when I was in a music industry meeting with a very powerful man who told me that, even though my music was great, I might not make it because I had an "imperfection" under my eye (referring to a small scar that I've had since childhood). He told me I could probably have it fixed and I "might" get by. At that moment I felt the soul, energy, and oppression of every person who has ever been discriminated against due to their appearance. This music and the live show depicts the idea that we are all born perfect in our own way and that advertising can sell us into believing we should desire a false version of our own perfection through trendy looks, perfect bodies, etc,. Seeing that our original "perfect" self is now deemed "imperfect" all around us, we sell ourselves to the system believing that our own authentic perfection is not perfect or good enough. This causes a cycle of oppression in society that is hard to break. With this album, I hope to promote Saint-Exupery's idea that "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye".
