this independent artist, most of the time, they don't know what the fuck's going on.
And I was like, those are two things that over the next five years I want to dedicate real time to is like helping give more opportunity to people that look and, you know, whatever, look like me and come from where I come from, but also want to take maybe a different approach, a non-traditional approach to building their business and releasing their music.
And yeah, shout out to my mom.
I feel like
You know, looking back, I'm really grateful that I had, you know, my dad's a poet.
He's a writer.
And him and my mom split up when I was two, but my mom took me to piano classes for five years and then violin classes for another four and really encouraged the arts early on.
And even though we grew up section eight type shit, like with, they've had really difficult lives.
They gave me the tools that I needed and never fucking stopped.
If anything, I think they put the battery in my back to go and pursue the creative shit.
Whereas most people I know that were in my shoes, whether they grew up poor, middle class, rich, I think they were just shunned by their families if they decided they wanted to go down, even pursuing sports.
Like how many Iranians do you know in the league right now, bro?
Like I'm a fucking NBA fanatic.
I can't name any.
Yeah.
That's a problem.
So I think culturally, like that shit is...
Even designers.
I know Melody's killing it right now.
I just want to see more representation in the arts in general.
