“The best piece of advice I've received so far would have to be from SZA: stay true to yourself and remember what you started doing this for. Because I feel like it's easy to get lost in the sauce when there are so many things that are happening at one time, especially this year for me. Going on four tours, making two projects. You can kind of get lost, but I do it for the passion and the love I have for music and video games and everything that I grew up on. That's the roots.”
