    • 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.

    It's very easy to fall back unto my old ways when i'm working a lot. it's important for me to continue to find solitude and peace in nature and escape the city and the industry as much as possible. that's where i reconnect and remind myself what i learned in that time in the woods when i was isolated and i recharge myself. if i don't have that, it would be really easy for me to fall apart again.

    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.
    Fall Creativity Rejection
    Honestly, i don't recommend anyone get into music. if you have something else that you're good at, do that instead. this is a really tough world to live in.
