Do you have any advice for other aspiring independent musicians?:
"Don't be afraid to ask for help. I can't explain how many times I've tried to master a new skill overnight so I don't need to admit I need someone else to take the reins. We can't always be amazing at everything. That's when your tribe comes in. Find a tribe of people who support you, who not only understand but can supplement your visions with strengths of their own. Learning to let go more and ask for help is huge."
