A lot of people get in trouble when they try. Someone who's just starting is trying to be me, and they have to understand that there's such a large gap between where I am versus where someone's starting. I think you just have to be where you're at because everyone wants the grand studio. Most big YouTubers, they have a room or they have a dedicated recording space. But when I started, I didn't. I was lugging all my equipment to my music studio. That was the space I had at the time. I didn't have a private studio like I do now. Being where you're at is so important. And trying not to be someone else, you have to be yourself, because that's what people fall in love with on social media. They fall in love with you. People follow specific people because their message resonates with them.
