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.

Tough

World

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.

Rejection

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.
