"I feel like I have a habit of, before that, being really controlling of how the song has to sound, and how every melody, every line has to be perfect and when you do that, you hold it so close to your chest that you get to a point where you can't even release it or when you release it... it just drives you crazy because you're so obsessed with having so much control over that."
"You can put so much effort into something and it might not actually get the hype or the clout that you want it to, but then, if you just let something just organically become what it is, it ends up being a smash for you."
"I think that's the beauty of being an independent artist too, is, your fan base and your listeners... I personally believe it's just about the content and continuing to release."
"The core of a song, it's the lyrics, the melody, and the progression, and if that's great then the whole thing's going to be great."
"Now I'm kind of in this process where I'm like, 'Okay, whatever, I can't be relying on other people's opinions or just other people to do this for me. I really, I feel like I can do this myself now'."
"I think that the biggest thing that holds people back is just their self-doubt in their skills, and the only way you improve those skills is to actually start making the moves."
"During 2020 I did a lot of livestreaming and that's where I did a lot of my performances. And that actually built, I would argue that built a lot of if not more clout and attention than if I went on the road."
"If livestreaming is this accessible and well done, it would arguably be more lucrative than going on the road for me right now."
"They flew me to Los Angeles, I stayed off of Beverly Hills, and then they brought me to... Larrabee Studios, which is... one of the most famous studios I can think of in the world and that's where we tracked the song."
