“I stopped making shitty music for the validation of others and started making music for myself. Music that I would enjoy.”

“It’s always been hard for me to make friends because I never really had much time nor the confidence for it. Usually people grow up in one city around the same people for their whole lives up until they graduate from high school and move on to college. It wasn’t like that for me.”

“ It was all going great for me up until around mid-to-late May, where… we would have to move away from Miami to Tallahassee. Bro, I was devastated. Imagine growing up in such a culture-rich city like Miami, then having to move to relatively rural Tallahassee.”

“Regardless, I was getting good at it (relatively), but I had to take a break. The most important trip of my life was about to happen and I didn’t even know it.”

“Around that time I was angry, sad, and at a low point mentally so listening to his lyrics made me feel seen. I wanted to be him. I wanted to be in the same position he was in.”
