And so I've just been really focusing on that.

Probably Shawn Mendes.

I think we were talking about Shawn earlier, too.

And Shawn is, when I first wrote my first song, I've fully, I'm so sorry, Shawn, I've ripped off stitches fully.

I stole the four chords that he did, and I would just move the capo around.

that's obviously a version before but that was a huge thing i songwriting my first four years of my life songwriting was just sean mendez stitches chords moving around a capo and because i didn't know how to play guitar and it was a huge inspiration just listening to songwriting too and understanding you know his his you know understanding different ways people grow up and different things they go through and his songwriting was a huge inspiration for mine so yeah probably him yeah

Yeah.

Yeah.

Not until I was about 20, 21, I really put out my first song.

Yes.

And I was like, I need to take this.

I need to do this and throw my whole, my...

everything into it i wanted to do it right i wanted to obviously because music i had such a weird relationship with it my entire life that i i definitely have really bad imposter syndrome so i started taking music theory lessons i started taking piano lessons i take vocal lessons three times a week if not more still to this day for the last four years of my life

I started taking guitar lessons and asking how to produce.

And when I'm in the studio, what do you do to my voice?

How do you do that?

What do you do to this instrument?

How do you compress that?

How do you EQ that?

And when I'm doing my in-ear monitors, what's the frequency you're taking out?
