“Don’t stop. Be committed, be determined if this is what you want to do. Sometimes you got to go through some crazy hurdles to really just stay focused and believe, because sometimes it’s so easy to say, this isn’t for me, I’m wasting my time. I’m not getting the feedback I want. I’m not getting the love I, thought I would have. I thought this was my hit. This is supposed to be my hit. Because you invest so much in your music. When you hear it, you’re like, this is my hit. This is it. I’m going. But you won’t necessarily get that reaction. And a lot of times, for me as well, it’s been the songs you don’t expect to hit. Which is one song called Only One. And it’s been, Blowing up recently on TikTok. I keep getting notifications. I think it’s at like forty-K or something like that views right now. So I’m like, Whoa that’s a huge leap for me. I’m used to like five-K or maybe 10k. So to go from that to just all of a sudden, like thirty, forty-K is it’s crazy and it can happen. You just gotta work and not stop.”
