However, he wondered how he could continue in a field that was wearing him out, and in the end he decided to assign certain tasks to his colleagues to find a new sense of purpose.
“Coachella’s opening day was the first time I performed there, and when I exited the stage, I felt nothing. Absent joy. no melancholy.
For someone who never aspired to be an artist, I’m performing Coachella in my third year of my career, and I feel nothing.
“So, for me, it was a sign that I would either have to stop doing music or find another career. Because I needed to take a break or because it wasn’t a healthy sensation to have. I could have been burned out.
And when COVID struck, that’s when I first took a moment to reflect and try to plan my next course of action. I had founded Empawa, so I was learning about the music industry.
But even listening to music was wearing me out. Without music, how can a music industry be operated? So I just delegated that task to my colleagues” He said.
