How do you feel?
Radical. Yeah, I feel very, very, very neat. Yeah.
Um, how much would you say that music is becoming sort of limitless at the moment for young artists especially, because of social media people don’t need studios anymore? I mean I mean what are your thoughts?
Yea, there’s no gatekeepers. There’s no one standing in the way between you and your audience and I think that has opened it up for everybody.
I mean how do you go about your own music and how do you go about publishing it and and things like that?
Yeah. Well, you know, I’m always making tunes and I just go out in the park by my house and I shoot it and I put it up, you know, and if they like it, they do. And if they don’t, I hear from them.
So, what are you most proud of?
Oh, I do it out of a out of a duty to a to a tradition. So, you know, I’m I just like doing it.
Yeah.Yeah.Thank you very much.Thanks so much.Yeah.Yes.
