Tell us about your latest project “Sorry for the Technical Difficultues” and what was the inspiration behind it?
- When I made “Sorry for the Technical Difficulties” I was in very low place. I was running in to self inflected road blocks on my Album “Good Days Forever” cause my depression set in and derailed the project. I was battling depression. I was really struggling to focus on anything. Didn’t care about much. It was a 3 month period where I stayed in the bed for hours. My days were filled with stress, intrusive thoughts, and contemplation of suicide. So much so I actually tried to take my own life. I’ve been battling depression for majority of my life but the creation of “Sorry for the Technical Difficulties” helped me start talking about my issue more. It also gave a fresh creative outlook on my next album “Good Days Forever”. It help me understand my true purpose as an artist.
We understand you recently moved to another state. What other moves are you making that we can be on the lookout for?
I been quietly working on my metaverse called “Arcadia”. It’s something I’ve been working for quite some time now. But it probably won’t be ready until my “Good Days Forever” Album is released. The Good Days Forever Album is maybe my top favorite project I ever worked on.
