The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
I CRY IN SITUATIONS Ft. Jensen McRae | Episode 158
Exactly. Because they were like, no fucking way you're coming to Ohio. So they're like, I think that's what you're talking about. It's like people in L.A. Like my manager said, they're spoiled. So they're used to having everybody come and do shows. So when you go to like those smaller ones, sometimes they're like the best crowds.

The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
I CRY IN SITUATIONS Ft. Jensen McRae | Episode 158
Well, and also because you're such a talented songwriter, it's like it's making it more applicable to everyone. Yeah. Like your unique experience cannot always apply, but the feeling can most times apply to most people. Just to kind of wrap us here, like any advice, like what your best piece of advice would be for any upcoming like singer songwriters?
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
I CRY IN SITUATIONS Ft. Jensen McRae | Episode 158
slash improv experts all of the above any advice you may have for them if they really want to get into the music industry maybe want to start writing maybe want to start playing maybe want to start posting their songs any advice you may have for them I mean one of the biggest things is to keep a journal like it's really good to be an observer of the world and like write down the things that are happening
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
I CRY IN SITUATIONS Ft. Jensen McRae | Episode 158
i have no shame exactly you're so mean i've literally told like whenever people would say things like well why does she have all these things i i get hate and i delete my stuff well sounds like you have no follow-through it's not for everyone yeah that's right trust me and i've told people before i'm like if you care at all about what people think about you if you're worried about hate don't do it absolutely that's not the place to do it like at all if you're worried people are gonna think you're annoying if you're worried people are gonna think you're embarrassing if you think it's embarrassing to post on social media guess what you shouldn't be have a social media account

But going into improv trials. Yeah. And college, mind you.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
I CRY IN SITUATIONS Ft. Jensen McRae | Episode 158
That is utilizing social media. Exactly. And like you said. It's like. It really is how you look at it. Like how you perceive it. And how you utilize it. And like. Use it to your advantage. And the same way that you said like. I was a flop too. It's like. That's not the point of it. I think the same way about. It negates the point of making art. If the only reason you're putting out.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
I CRY IN SITUATIONS Ft. Jensen McRae | Episode 158

And then, and then that being said, I do love being the center of attention. So is that when you, when you kind of pivoted away from improv, is that when you kind of lean just solely into music or. Yeah.
The Comment Section with Drew Afualo
I CRY IN SITUATIONS Ft. Jensen McRae | Episode 158
And I discovered your music on TikTok, which I'm sure other people have too. But I know there's a lot more to your lore.
