I think I’m stubborn for starters. I mean, in this particular situation, it served me well. I refuse to kind of just quit, I don’t know. I think my dad is in his fifties and he still plays guitar. He doesn’t play out, he doesn’t, you know, go play shows or anything, but he still plays. And just the joy that he gets out of doing that, that’s enough to make me want to keep doing this because I get an immense amount of joy walking out on stage and having a bunch of people think I’m cool, which is…can be a little misguided. I’m not as cool as people think I am but just, you know. I think the real solidifying moment for me…this is the long answer to your long question. I just joined MWK and it was like my second or third show and we went to L.A. and showcased for this label, that I will not name. The head of this label, who I will also not name, told me very specifically after we auditioned for him that I, myself, should find something else to do with my life and that maybe music isn’t cut out for me and maybe I’m not cut out for music. Needless to say, he is not working with me now. So…but I think, just, that galvanised me, that just did it. To have somebody say that and for me to be able to just walking out back and say “You know what? Forget that guy. I’m going to keep playing music anyway”. [x]
