But Do You Ever Think Of Me,

I Actually Quit Music And I Thought Maybe I Chose The Wrong Career. But, I Isolated Myself In A Cabin In The Woods For A While And That's Where I Fell Back In Love With Music. Just Being Isolated Out There, Eliminating All These Opinions That I Endured During My Time In La And The Music Industry, All The Rejection, It Was Really Hard On Me And My Creativity. So By Isolating Myself In The Wilderness, I Was Able To Fall Back In Love With Music. It Was Always Ingrained In Me, Always In My Blood, But I Just Lost It For A Minute.

I Didnt Have Any Knowledge Of The Music Industry When I First Got To L.a., And I Really Didnt Know On A Creative Level What I Wanted To Sound Like, So I Had To Do A Lot Of Experimenting. It Led To A Spiral Of Depression And Being Broke.

I Always Knew I Wanted To Do Music, But It Took Me A Long Time To Figure Out How To Exactly Do That. With My First Record Deal, Everything Kinda Fell Apart. I Wasn't Ready For It, I Didn't Know How To Handle The Business Side At All. I Thought As Soon As I Got A Record Deal, Everything Would Fall Into Place And I Wouldn't Have To Really Do Any Work Anymore. I Could Just Make Music, And Be Successful. Well That Was Not The Case And Everything Fell Apart For A Period Of Time.

Expectations Are An Evil Thing.

I Love New York. I First Came Here With My Mom When I Was In 9th Grade. I Took The Subway For The First Time And The Doors Closed Between Me And My Mom, And I Was So Scared. I Could See Her Through The Window And I Didn't Know What To Do. I Got Off At The Next Stop And She Caught Up To Me, But I Couldn't Stop Crying.
