EVERYONE: “How do you get time off work to tour?” ME: “Why do you let your job get in the way of pursuing your passions?” We’re told that ‘success’ is a stable job, a nice house, healthy savings... Shouldn’t happiness be ‘success’? Take risks, make changes and enjoy life. ✌🏻

Just found out that I’ve finally paid off my university debt! Whilst I’m doing really amazing things with my band right now, only a few years ago, I dedicated A LOT of my time to my studies. To think I have my degree, a job and studies paid off... I feel like a legit adult 🙃

I don’t see many musicians talk about it, but being on stage is the biggest dopamine fix I get. The rest of the time touring, I’m usually anxious and tired. Doing that day-after-day is mental gymnastics. I have so much respect for DIY artists on the road for 100+ shows per year!
