He says, “I know I'll move forward with a track if, at the end of the production process, I'm standing up out of my chair, dancing like a goof, and having that 'yes' moment.”

Drawing parallels between collaboration and dating apps, he emphasizes alignment in artistic vision, and his experience in conversations with both artists who are willing to try something new and those who want to stick to their artistic path.
