“What is one word you would use to describe yourself?”

“One word. . .I would say I’m pretty determined. If there’s something I’m passionate about, I usually am not quick to give up on it—with music specifically. It’s one of those things where it can be really tough to give up on because it’s hard to pursue and people can look down on it sometimes. I don’t plan on giving up on it, especially anytime soon.”

“Is there anything that you have struggled with in music?”

“I’m still comparing myself all the time. I think most everyone struggles with that. Especially in the world of social media now where everyone’s posting what they can do and how they do it. I try to limit myself from looking at that stuff because I get down on myself. Comparison is horrible. It destroys creativity. I’m still getting over it. I think one of the best ways to get over that is don’t try to be someone else. Be yourself. I think that is what’s going to make you go far. People don’t want to see another this person or that person, they want to see something different.”
