Yeah, it's inspiration for me just to be able to... Dude, growing up, I wanted an outlet in music and I didn't know it.

I didn't find it.

I didn't see it.

Until I heard Lewis Capaldi when I was like 18.

I think I was 18 when I heard Lewis and he started writing about loss and that was something that was hugely inspirational for me.

I write about that now and that was a lot of...

That got me through a lot of stuff, you know?

And so I think that was the biggest thing was like, I wanted to be that for someone else.

I wanted to help other people whom, I think the one thing that I did that was super selfish was assume that this was all me.

I assumed that this only happens to me and I'm the only one who has lost his parents and I'm the only one who goes through these feelings.

And as I started to play these shows and as I started to write these songs, I've realized that it's way more than you think.

No matter who you are, no matter what you do, no matter how much you make or what your skin color is, you go through loss.

You understand that.

You have things that you lose every day, your family members, your friends, your loved ones, your dog.

And that's the one thing that's universally, I think, connect everyone is understanding that piece of you that's gone and everyone tries not to talk about it.

And so that's been the most beautiful thing about making music was, has been able to be a, it's one thing you can't articulate.

When you lose someone and going through grief, it's something you cannot articulate.

You don't know how to get through it.

And everyone has a different advice on how to.

And I think that's the biggest thing is making music that sounds like it, making music that allows you to articulate that feeling, you know?
