I just had my first rought through-listen of my second album in progress, and realized that ever since I got rid of the idea of aiming for a song or an album that defined me as a person, as a creative individual, I have been much more productive and what I create has become much more personal. Ultimately the motivaton used to be external, to show other people who I am and what I’m capable of, and it was just not honest to myself. Like on a job interview or first date we are trying to show the best, or what we believe the other person would perceive as the best of us. Now I’m trying to find answers for myself through what I create, and it has lead to me connecting with my music on steeper emotional level, and to me that’s what matters. It’s extremely empowering to find meaning and emotion in something that I’ve created.
