It's always evolving. I found my truth. And then my truth is the core of my sound because I'm always just telling my story. Right. So no matter what it sounds like, I was given this example. So I could be making a horror film. or I could be making an action movie, or I could be making a rom-com. But I'm always believable because I'm telling my truth within that story.

There was about, there was two of them. So maybe three. So there's one time I was writing songs and it was before I got any like significant placements by placements. I mean, any progress with any landing, any songs with any major artists. Right. I remember I started songwriting and it was maybe, let's say two years into like really honing my craft and getting good.

And I would have meetings with A&Rs or record executives. Like by the time I finally figured out how to be useful, songwriting by the way for me was the first time in my life that I was in service of someone, in service of something else. It was the first time that I came into a room and asked, what could I do for you? As opposed to asking for something that I needed.

And by virtue of asking other people what I could do for them, it changed my life. It opened my world. First of all, it sat me down and humbled me. It let me know, you're not as important as you think you are. Shut up. Go into the back of the room. Listen. Take criticism. Take judgment. Internalize it. Recycle it and become better. Get great. It was like training camp.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because most when you're an artist, you believe you're right because you believe in yourself. When you become in service of somebody else's art, you have to take criticism, critiques. You have to take judgment. You have to you get sharper because It's someone else's lens, someone else's vision. So it's an incredible training course.

So I remember finally having relationships enough that have meetings with A&Rs and I'm having these A&R meetings and having these management meetings and I'm giving them my songs and playing my songs and maybe 24 months into that, right? Because that's just one part of it. They started, someone said, oh, this is really good. This song is really good.

I was like, oh, that meant, I thought that meant something good. It's like, but I can't take it. I was like, well, you just said it's really good. They were like, it sounds too much like you.

And it took me 12 months from that point to see the value in that statement. That statement changed my life.
