My motivation when it comes to releasing my music is a cultural thing. My emotions just well up in me and spill out in whatever form my brain decides fits the mood. How do you manage to fuse all these genres together and what was your motivation to get involved in this game?ĭecuma: If I’m honest, I can’t claim to be super methodical with my genre blending. Rap, ambient, and classical are the vibe. I do need to talk about the difficult things surrounding sexual assault though. I don’t need to tell you sexual assault is bad. I know the core subject of the album is sexual assault but I was vague on what actually happened because I wanted the focus to be more about coping and accountability. I hope it has a similar effect on others. I’ve had a rough few years mentally but the process of forgiving my younger self, rediscovering my passion for classical music, and letting go of my perfectionism ended up being a really important first few steps for me. Please tell us more about your upcoming release called let’s play pretend!ĭecuma: let’s play pretend! really is the only reason I found myself again.

And I’m at home in southern Michigan with my family! I can’t be doing too poorly with my loved ones. I’m struggling with some things but there are people out there that love me enough to keep me afloat. How are you doing today and where in the world are you as we speak?ĭecuma: All things considered, I’m doing better than I should be.

Opening up the door and showing us in with a smile, Decuma kindly sat down with us to chat about life in southern Michigan, keeping it real and the brand-new project called let’s play pretend!
