“…You’ve been making your way as a musician for a while now. If you could travel back in time to give your past self one piece of advice, what would it be?
‘I would have told myself to stop “searching” for who I was going to be as an artist. I already had the makings and internal compass of where I was going to land to be true to myself, but I fought it. I didn’t think sad piano ballads was going to get me anywhere but playing covers in a piano bar. But that’s really just at the surface of the problem. I think what I really would have said was to not be afraid. Don’t be afraid to write my own songs, even the bad ones. They eventually get you to the good ones. Don’t be afraid to not fit into one genre, or one box, or one neat elevator pitch. It’s not about figuring it out…it’s just about making music. I still have to remind myself of that…it’s a work in progress. I just hope I get lucky…that my music will support a career so I can keep doing this’…“
