Money and fame are very inconvenient and very problematic.

I don't think I can play the game and sell myself.

Of course the headspace for the young musician is whatever the guy who is paying you says, is right, but that's all.

I'm happy doing what I do. That's ok. Some guy could appear tomorrow and do it much better than me, and so be it, but right now I'm just happy to be who I am doing what I do.

I'm very grateful to be where I'm at and be able to play. That's really the bottom line for me. Survival and being able to play.

People YouTube me and crap and then, they probably don't want to see me after seeing a friendly posted YouTube video, so I'm constantly having to take those down.

I've composed all my life and kept things, and even developed things I've done in college into something now.
