— Tell us about your hometown.
I’m from Baku, Azerbaijan, a town called Yasamal and its very special lands. I didn’t grow up in Baku, but I go back and visit frequently. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY. The best thing growing up was being able to buy my 5-course meal at the deli with a lucky $2 bill when chips and juices were 25¢ each. And the worst thing about Brooklyn is how our favorite restaurants and spots are being bought out by private equity companies and gentrification by newcomers. Also, the kids with dirt bikes that start riding them at 2-4 am and making crazy noises with the muffler. They both suck.

— What’s a favorite book/movie/TV show, and why do you love it?
I love this book called Modernists and Mavericks by Martin Gayford because it is a single narration of the painting and artist scene in London, post-Second World War. It includes illustrations from the time and photographs of the artists and their lives are documented. They all have such peculiarities and idiosyncrasies about themselves and their way of creativity that light and fill my mind up, as an artist myself, when reading about these iconic figures. So I really love that book.

— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:
I speak four languages and sing in others, too. I speak Azeri, English, French, and Spanish on a daily to weekly basis. I also speak Russian and Turkish, but I can’t say I’m fluent anymore. And I sing in Portuguese. I find speaking multiple languages in America to be more of a rarity, so people find this fascinating.
