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 Write A Lot About The Past Because I Really See Things Clearly In Hindsight.

I Discovered That My Insecurities And My Flaws Were Things That I Actually Need To Embrace, And I Let Them Become My Superpowers.

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.

Your Personal Life, Your Professional Life, And Your Creative Life Are All Intertwined. I Went Through A Few Very Difficult Years Where I Felt Like A Failure. But It Was Actually Really Important For Me To Go Through That. Struggle, For Me, Is The Most Inspirational Thing In The World At The End Of The Day - As Long As You Treat It That Way.
