An Interview With XLII: International Music Producer and Polyglot Based in Japan

XLII is a Japan-based artist and music producer. During our chat we talked about how learning his fifth language, Spanish, has been a worthwhile investment, his thoughts on “success” and ikigai, an important episode in setting up his freelance music career, and how he uses the mental model of inversion to think about the person he wants to be (or avoid being the person he doesn’t want to be).
