I was a bit broken at that time. Away from home. The friends I made. hungry to create. Making work of broken tools and used equipment. In a new place where on the outside I was told to trust no one, and the home I walked to, was its own warzone.
For the first time I looked at my future and saw pitch black- didn’t know how to feel about that but I kept creating and playing and recording it and posting it to the ether for no real reason but to not feel crazy in my own world. My pops already knew Unapologetic and told them about me. Led to them seeing my videos just playing different instruments trying to stay creative through the madness with what I had. Very soon after, I began to intern that summer and found my tribe.
There’s a moment near the beginning at dirty socks, a memory that sticks with me Studio A was empty. The Keyboard was on. I started to play. being at dirty socks this day meant more to me than they knew, than I really knew myself. It was a solace, a stillness that allowed me that morsel of time with music. Away from the chaos of my life, that I adapted to at that time. To start to heal. Doing what I’m here to do. It was a summer that set the course.
I learned a lot since then. I learned more about myself. About team playing and community. I saw my shame reflected as beauty in unapologetic. I learned not only is it ok to be yourself, but it’s welcomed, appreciated, and necessary. I learned that someone could be looking out for you even if you don’t see it.
