They say everyone's favorite subject is themselves; so for the next few paragraphs I’m going to indulge on myself, dammit! I’d rather you get to know me via my music, a video or a different medium other than a corny ass ‘About me’ section that twelve people will read, but we’ll make due. For twenty-two years people’s opinions were my reality. I was very adaptive to my surroundings, and in turn never found a true version of myself. I had a very christian upbringing, and I still carry those roots today, but I often defaulted to that not only to please my parents, but belong to something. So long story short, I loved making music and thought inevitably I should be making christian music. Oh, what an interesting time. I did that to the point where I was now engaged to a girl whom I shouldn’t have been engaged to, locked in a career I was already hating, and pretty much restricted from making or listening to the music I truly wanted to. Everyone eventually reaches their “fuck it” moment in life, but its sad because few act on it. I entered a bad place in life, experimenting with pills, losing all ambition, the recipe for a wash out. Than one day my father walked in and gave me a metaphorical slap in the face to wake up and realize my potential. For the first time in my life, I cared about what Jared thought, not others. Now here we are today. Making the music I want to, saying what I want to say and not worrying about the opinions surrounding me. I want to encourage this same liberating feeling onto all people, and pray my music can be that conduit. Who you truly are is beautiful and totally unique, dont wait too long before you realize that. That shit saved my safe.
