I always like to leave art and music open to interpretation.
But I really believe that you don't do music because you want to, you do it because you have to.
There was nothing more I wanted to do than to see my dad react well to my music. I still do. I send him my demos all the time.
I wouldn't recommend being a musician to anyone. It's not glamorous. It's a lot of being dirty, not eating, playing for five people and one of them is the bartender.
