You have to do the work. You have to make the opportunity. It doesn’t find you, you find it.
I like to employ the power of no. We all want to say yes, because with yes comes so much opportunity, but with the power of no comes focus and engagement.
I never look at myself as a closet actor wanting to make music or a closet musician wanting to act — I’m very proud to do both and I don’t put one above the other, I’m very grateful and excited by both opportunities — it’s really a unique opportunity to do both.
I thought it would be a great opportunity to work with someone that I really like and really respect as an artist [like Alessandro Michele].
