Music is everything to me. Mainly, it's the only real form of expression that I have, but it also gives a high that I've been chasing my entire life. I wouldn't rather do anything else.
I could die happy if I played just one show where everyone was singing my lyrics back to me.
Wealth inequality, but so so much more.
Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi. My dad taught me how to play it once when he was home (he was away a lot for work), and it's all I played for a solid few years.
I mean, all of my inspirations for sure, but also independent artists like Lizzy McAlpine, Del Water Gap, Penny and Sparrow, and Breakup Shoes. Highly recommend all of those artists--specifically, Penny and Sparrow and Lizzy McAlpine's lyrics have been hugely inspirational to me lately.
I mean... everything, really. I'm just constantly in this state of feeling like there's something inside of me that's gearing up to explode, and this is the only real way to satisfy that intensity. I know I sound pretentious, but it's the truth.
No matter what you're going through, there is someone else who gets it. That, and your life and your memories--they're important. You're probably going to be looking back to what's happening right now in a couple of years and think, "Wow, those were the good old days". Don't let the best times of your life pass you by while you're busy getting lost in the nostalgia of the past.
Like every single part of my body and the air around me is vibrating at a frequency unknown to man.
People say it's over-saturated, but I think non-musical people just take produced music for granted. The streaming era has allowed us all to get our music out there for people to listen to, but it's also fashioned a culture of entitlement. Hardly anybody actually purchases music digitally anymore, CDs are dead, and records are expensive to produce. I think for starters, streaming services need to pay artists proportionally based on who's listening to them, and furthermore, they just need to pay artists more. Period.
Pretty cool so far.
Social media algorithms. Haha, but seriously, the recording process. I love songwriting, performing, mixing, and even mastering. But the recording process is just frustrating, because of my perfectionist nature. That being said, if I could just record music for a living, I would over most anything else.
I've actually moved around a lot the last few years, so I've had a difficult time with finding the local scenes, but that will be changing with this next move to California.
An overabundance of heart. I know that really isn't measurable, but I think it's the only qualifier that matters.
I believe I may have already, but here are some more: Demyia, Eric Vattima, Black Dolly Band.
