THE INTERVIEW
If you had to create a Mount Rushmore of inspiration, what four individuals molded the artist you are today?
Chester Bennington, Michael Jackson, Bill Skarsgard (actor) and Heath Ledger (actor).
Were there any specific experiences or events in your life that influenced the song's lyrics?
Not really. The song was written when I was in my teens. So, whatever that little teenager was dealing with. I touch on this in The Story of Deep Inside on Facebook, if you want to have a read.
Can you share any interesting anecdotes about the song's development with your co-writers or producers?
Again, all is told in that document. But, overall, the song is close to exactly what I wanted, scarily enough. I was a little shocked that most of it worked, honestly.
What was the biggest takeaway or lesson you learned while creating this song?
Creativity and Imagination are powerful.
How has your recent growth as an artist influenced the direction of your future work?
It’s become limitless now! I want to do more and grow. I’m much closer to living the dream now with an album on its way. So, happy days!
