Do you have any advice you wish you could share with yourself when you first started your music career?
When you first start making music, you’re not going to be perfect—and that’s completely okay. The key is to wait until you can listen to your music from someone else’s perspective and truly believe it sounds great. People often only give you one chance, and if they hear something they don’t like, they may not come back. Make sure your music is something they’ll want to hear again. When you start making music, you’re not going to be good, and that’s okay. Just don’t release music unless you can listen to it from another person’s perspective and think it sounds great. A lot of people will only listen once.

I love fishing.
