1
I think as soon as there was like some chaos and like drama in my life,
2
I was like I am had did not hesitate to like pick up a pen and start writing.
3
I don't know how you couldn't How are you?
4
I'm so good.
5
How are you?
6
Thanks for thanks for coming in.
7
I'm all right.
8
Good.
9
Yeah, congrats on the record It's great.
10
Thank you.
11
You happy with it?
12
I am beyond happy with it.
13
I am It feels good to have, it's a very cliche thing,
14
but to have something out that I'm very proud of and that I'm like proud to be singing every night on tour.
15
It's nice to enjoy what I'm singing on stage.
16
What brought you to LA in the first place?
17
I want to talk about the homesickness thing.
18
I was in school in Pittsburgh for film and I was in my third year.
19
and by the end of my first year I hated film school and knew that was already like a mistake
20
I still loved film and like I was actively shooting things
21
and editing things and directing things
22
but I just knew film school was not for me
23
and as I started to kind of disconnect with my classes
24
I was introduced to the concept of being able to like
25
record yourself there were kids on my dorm floor who were like Passing out CDs and mixtapes,
26
and I was like how did you even?
27
Whatever and they showed you do this yeah, how is this even possible?
28
And so they introduced me to logic and and all these things
29
and they like download illegally download it onto my laptop I'm like dude try it
30
and I fell in love with it like immediately
31
I've had a lot of phases in my life and things and hobbies that I've fallen in love with,
32
but nothing has impacted me and took over my entire brain the way that music did when I first found it.
33
And slowly started failing school really bad because of how much I was just loving being in my little closet making music.
34
I was putting things out on SoundCloud, whatever.
35
I had put out my first EP Arizona in the summer
36
and I was just at a point where I was I could not keep failing school at
37
that point like it was really bad two years of like F's
38
and everything um and I was keeping a secret from my parents
39
and I was like if nothing happens with the CP I need to figure something out I need to like
40
truly try in school for once.
41
And during that window, like a miracle,
42
this guy, Q, Quentin, who was Mac Miller's manager at the time, reached out to me over DM and was like,
43
hey, this EP is amazing.
44
Mac really likes this song, Stolen Car.
45
And I just lost it.
46
And long story short, he flew me out to meet and work with Malcolm for a short window.
47
And that spread throughout other labels and stuff, and word got out.
48
And I started getting invited to come out to L.A.
49
I was just waiting for an excuse to move there.
50
And I finally had one.
51
And a solid way to tell my parents, hey, music, this thing is working.
52
There's possibly money that could be made from this.
53
and it's on paper now, so it was nice to have something to show them.
54
And I moved.
55
What were the expectations of living in L.A versus the realities of living in L.A.?
56
Right, that's the question.
57
Give me the expectations first.
58
I guess when I, well, expectations, I was like...
59
Fame and fortune and mink coats and jewelry and...
60
Like, not really.
61
I'm not...
62
I'm from Maine so I didn't even have that, I guess from movies, but I just didn't have that concept in my head.
63
I was just like, we didn't really have studios.
64
And so my dream was to go to a place where there's an abundance of studios.
65
My dream was to literally just be in a studio all day.
66
That just sounded fun and was what being an artist was.
67
And so I was like, I have to go to LA to do this.
68
Which is silly now, looking back.
69
But that was my expectation.
70
And to be honest, that is what I did for a year.
71
I kind of, I was living in like Airbnbs for a little bit
72
and then I finally got a place in West Hollywood
73
and I just was in the studio all day just trying to make music.
74
Outside of being in the studio, it was just extremely lonely.
75
I, my best friends in the world, I grew up with.
76
We've been best friends since kindergarten and I just having a very solid group of friends like that
77
Kind of like it's a blessing
78
but it messes you up in a little bit of a
79
way where it's made it really hard for me to even want to try
80
and make friends that are anything like that Yeah, they were so close you know, yeah, yeah, yeah So I was just like I'm never gonna replace this
81
so like why even try and be social in this city?
82
Which is dumb, but I was young And so it was just lonely
83
And I think a lot of people would agree with
84
that about LA
85
And it took me until like a year ago To finally
86
have like a beautiful group of friends out there How did the loneliness and homesickness manifest itself?
87
I'll give you something on me now So I'm from Newfoundland
88
and I moved to Toronto And that's a really different cultural move
89
and I had a great group of friends and I moved up here for this job.
90
Like I moved up here, not for Q, but the job before I had this, but to work here.
91
And looking back, I thought I was just lonely, but I also look at those years and I go, well, like, why was I smoking so much weed?
92
You know, why was I doing that every night?
93
Why was I drinking so much?
94
Why was I doing all this stuff?
95
What was I trying, you know, why was I not, why was I maybe not looking after myself?
96
And now one thing that listening to your record made me think about was
97
that was probably homesickness and that was probably loneliness.
98
And that was just manifesting itself through the behaviors I was, I wasn't like sitting down saying I'm so sad and drinking.
99
But I was probably doing something to try and deal with that.
100
100%.
101
I relate to that heavily.
102
I was like, for the first time in my life, was like smoking so much weed, which I never did.
103
And same thing.
104
I was just drowning out something and not wanting to actually analyze it.
105
But yeah, I think it was.
106
It was homesickness.
107
It took me a little while to realize how lucky I was to grow up where I grew up.
108
And it's just a story that's as old as, you know, whatever.
109
But you just don't appreciate it until you leave it and you realize how lucky you were.
110
Did it change when you got back?
111
I sometimes found that I had idealized it.
112
Where in Maine are you from?
113
I'm from a town called Cape Elizabeth.
114
It's like 10 minutes outside of Portland.
115
So I found when I would go home, I had this idea of what my home was, that I had been idealizing on my couch in Toronto.
116
Oh, if I can only get back there, that's where, and I would get back there.
117
And sometimes it would do it.
118
Sometimes it would be like, oh, this is just what I was missing.
119
But sometimes I go, oh, they're all moving on here.
120
Like, they've moved on too, you know?
121
Like, their lives are changing.
122
Things can't stay as they are.
123
You did go back to Maine eventually.
124
How was that?
125
I mean, I went back a lot.
126
I still go back a lot.
127
And to be honest, like, yeah, things change.
128
And I used to go home, a long time ago, I used to go home, especially when I was in college and stuff, or right when I had gone to L.A and I would go home,
129
I would see people that I went to high school with
130
that hadn't left yet and that were getting very comfortable where they grew up
131
and working in 9 to 5 in that town.
132
Yeah, and it used to make me like sad I used to it used to like I
133
Used to just want to be like you'll yeah do something with your life
134
But now I'm at a point where I get it and I actually empathize with it and I'm like
135
You know what that sounds nice like there are times
136
when I'm just like I would love to just drop everything and just
137
move home and Just have a very simple life But I used to definitely like judge a little bit, but now I
138
Now I just There's a lot of comfort in all those things When I go home Like seeing those people still
139
Even if they're like married now It makes me feel old or whatever
140
But yeah I like the familiar Things Rhythms of going back
141
home It's a different rhythm than LA It's comforting it's like everything I know
142
Can you connect the dots on
143
Because the story I mean I can only follow what I read about you
144
And in the press but like the story I get told in reading about you is
145
that something happens when you go back to Maine one time and your sound changes.
146
Like you were making sort of more rap and hip hop.
147
I don't even know if that's the case.
148
Like just different music than you're making.
149
Yes.
150
And then the story I get told in the press is
151
that you go home and something clicks and then you start listening to Americana music or country music or folk music.
152
What's the reality there?
153
So it was, when I first started making music, that was when it was like rap and whatever, and that's like how I got into music because of the scene in Pittsburgh.
154
And is that what Mac Miller found?
155
He found that stuff.
156
That wasn't really, I guess there was definitely a hip-hop influence in it, but that was when like bedroom pop was, it was when like the Clara's and the Gus Dappertons,
157
it was kind of living in that world, not really like rap.
158
So I guess like indie bedroom pop.
159
Sure.
160
But um, so it started when I was like when I started Kansas anymore or
161
Before it was even that was what it was gonna be but when I had to start my second album.
162
I Was lost I was throwing pain at the wall.
163
It was just the normal What am I gonna do here?
164
Like what is this gonna be?
165
And so I was trying everything at first I was like let's do an 80s album and committed to that for
166
Two months and it was garbage.
167
It was horrible.
168
It was the most disingenuine thing.
169
Yeah Yeah, a lot of synths, a lot of old sounding synths.
170
You kind of put on a costume when you make that music.
171
Exactly.
172
It sounded like I was doing karaoke.
173
It was not for me.
174
So we X'd that.
175
And I was like, let's keep trying things.
176
We tried whatever.
177
We tried a lot of things, and nothing was feeling like me.
178
And that was really what I was searching for, is what is going to bring out a genuine version of me.
179
And so I kind of put the pen down for like a little bit and just started going home
180
just to get out of LA and to like, whatever, reconnect with something.
181
And when I go home a lot, I listen to like just a lot of music that feels like Maine to me.
182
Like what?
183
Let's get some names here.
184
Let's get some names.
185
Let's get some names here.
186
Yeah, yeah. So Camp is one.
187
I don't know if you know Camp.
188
No. C-A-A-M-P.
189
And I think they're out of New England and it's just a very specific sound Kurt Vile I love to death
190
He got me through That whole year and I mean more on drugs too.
191
I don't know if that is really the main vibe But I'm obsessed with War on Drugs
192
Just some of those like warmer Zach Bryan was was a big thing too and just warmth acoustic.
193
Okay, so newer, when I was listening to it, I was, because my touchstone in that music, that's sort of the music that I come from, my touchstone on the music would be artists from the 60s and 70s,
194
and your Jackson Browns and your Eagles. That too.
195
Jackson Brown was a big one.
196
My mom was obsessed with him when I was growing up, and I never got it until later in my life,
197
That was heavily on rotation as well as like Van Morrison.
198
She loves some a lot of that like Sunday morning Americano Tom Petty Yeah, just reminds me of her like cleaning the house in it Which I used to hate and now I love
199
You are growing up Me realizing old no man, I get it.
200
I remember when I went from
201
It sounds silly to remember when I went from I don't really care to I like
202
when my house is neat so I guess I'll do it.
203
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
204
I know what you mean.
205
I know what you mean.
206
And I remember when I went after my parents, music was pretty good.
207
Yeah.
208
So you start, you're going home and listening to Camp
209
and you're listening to Who I Feel Uncool because Vanessa nodded at me that she knows who Camp are.
210
Yeah.
211
And then Kurt Weill, who's great.
212
And then maybe the folks that Kurt Weill would have listened to.
213
Prine and Petty and Neil Young and all these guys.
214
Yeah.
215
And then you come, then you're like that, in the movie version of this, you go, Eureka, that's it.
216
That's my sound.
217
Right.
218
Well, I started to like, it just was in my brain because that was all I was listening to all of a sudden.
219
And so I went back to L.A and was just like, that was the world in my head just sonically.
220
And I just didn't want to like bring it to the producer yet.
221
I wanted to start writing songs in that world.
222
And so in my living room, I just started writing some things on guitar and doing it the way I started making music, which was in a closet by myself and
223
so it was just a full circle moment of like I found the sound sonically I wanted this folky Americana
224
but still pop sound and then also I had songs
225
that I was writing
226
and being genuine in my living room without having someone tapping me on the shoulder being like hey you got
227
that chorus yet like hey how's the verse coming is that a real thing it's a real The thing, I mean, when you're starting to make songs with a producer in the room,
228
yeah, naturally they're gonna turn around and be like, how's it going?
229
Or like, where are we?
230
How's the verse coming?
231
Or they'll tweak things before you're done writing, which can be really intrusive.
232
I get it, but it can be intrusive.
233
And so I think those two things is what brought me to figuring out what the album is gonna be like.
234
Well, you got left alone.
235
It sounds like you got left alone to make the music that was in your mind and you got to...
236
I mean, that's so unfamiliar to me, that way of making music is.
237
I mean, I have friends who do it, and I have friends who are the people who are tapping people on the shoulders.
238
But in my mind, the idea of making a record is you come in with a song, and it's a verse and a chorus.
239
You know what I mean?
240
You have it, and this is my expression, and then please sharpen it for me, and let's gussy it up.
241
You know what I mean?
242
Yes.
243
It sounds like you were able to be yourself.
244
Yeah.
245
Is it the style of the music?
246
Is it the growth you had done at that point?
247
but it also from my reading there's a demarcation around you're
248
a little more personal now than you were before not to say
249
that you music before wasn't personal that it was about it was about Fanta
250
but like you're able to be more personal now this is
251
obviously a hallmark of the genre of the of the style
252
but I don't know I don't think you were sitting down writing confessional personal songs
253
because that's what is expected to view as an Americana artist
254
like what what caused it I was just going through honestly
255
it was like a quarter life crisis is like what I think I was going through
256
if I really look back at that year
257
or two years where I was just like in a relationship um
258
but wanting to a relationship that lived in LA
259
but me constantly running away from LA and wanting to be somewhere different usually Maine
260
sometimes it was nashville whatever i just wanted to get out of la all the time um
261
and it was just this like mess of
262
when i was in la i was like what am i
263
doing with my life um yes i'm like in love
264
but what am i doing with my life i'm not happy here what does
265
that mean and just all these like weird just an existential like moment in my life
266
and mixed that with like homesickness and um and then
267
that relationship kind of falling apart through all this stuff
268
which makes sense
269
because i think from someone else's perspective it'd be like why
270
are you not happy here yeah why are you running home
271
why are you disappearing is this not enough here yes you know yeah yeah
272
and so i get that and it's like it would be confusing and so That fell apart, I was falling apart.
273
It was just a combination of things in a quarter life crisis that ended up all becoming songs.
274
But you could have not sang about it, that's my point. For sure.
275
I feel like there would have been music you had made before that, but wouldn't have been about, had you been going through any of that stuff, it wouldn't have come out.
276
What I find interesting is that you sang about that stuff at all.
277
I think, yeah, well, I couldn't imagine not doing it.
278
But also I think I was in like a really happy relationship for a long time and and sometimes there's not
279
A lot of in sadly like I hate saying this because
280
Sometimes you'd have to say anything you don't know I've you know I just think
281
that there's not so much inspiration
282
that sometimes it's hard to like write a lot of like any any moving music
283
when you're in like a healthy, happy relationship.
284
You're right, you're right.
285
And it's disgusting to say, and artists are the worst for this.
286
But I think as soon as there was some chaos and drama in my life,
287
I was like, I did not hesitate to pick up a pen and start writing.
288
I don't know how you couldn't.
289
I guess I was trying to capitalize on it, which is gross.
290
Hey, watch it.
291
Watch it.
292
Watch it.
293
That's my buddy Tucker you're talking about.
294
Or, you know what another term for that is?
295
Is my friend says, why waste your suffering?
296
Yeah, exactly.
297
It's not about capitalizing on it.
298
It's if you're suffering, why waste it?
299
Why not try to get something out of it?
300
Why not try to learn something from it?
301
Why not try to offer something through it?
302
Exactly.
303
If I can offer you a sunnier way of looking at it, if I can be made dear to do that.
304
100%.
305
I think that's a better way to say it, for sure.
306
I think it's a better way, not a better way to say it, a better way to think about it.
307
Like, you know, I'm just reading me this as someone who like beat myself up for a long time.
308
So maybe I'm just like really I'm hyper aware of that kind of stuff.
309
I don't mean to call you out on it.
310
That's good.
311
Because I think what you did is you didn't waste your suffering and you turned it into something that people are really, I mean, relating to, not just loving, but really relating to.
312
Right.
313
And that has to be meaningful.
314
Yeah, it is.
315
And I wasn't expecting it.
316
I I don't know.
317
I was not expecting to...
318
I don't know.
319
I.. since I started making music,
320
my fan base from the beginning has always been primarily majority women,
321
which I love and like it's.. to me that's like best case scenario as an artist.
322
Having a female, primarily female fan base is best case scenario.
323
They are like the most loyal passionate type of fans ever and so I Guess when I was writing album,
324
I was like a little bit weary because a lot of it is me talking about
325
Just my faults in a really a relationship and kind of ripping myself apart as
326
I do as you also just saw me do Hey, hey, hey, as I do, as I do, as we all do.
327
Anyways, I was just like worried that maybe they wouldn't connect with it
328
because it's a man talking about being a shitty man in a relationship. And to my surprise.
329
Oh, yeah.
330
You know what I mean?
331
Yeah.
332
Which is a silly way to think about it because it doesn't, it's not that deep.
333
Like people are going to relate to things like whatever
334
that connects with them and they can put themselves in your shoes no matter.
335
It's not about gender or anything.
336
It's just a relatable situation, I realized.
337
But I did not have expectations for people to connect with it in the way they did.
338
The interesting challenge that happens right now
339
is when you leave L.A and go to Maine and get this sort of newfound inspiration, and the inspiration when you come back is very much like, man, I've got to be myself.
340
I've got to write about what I'm really feeling.
341
I have to write these songs without someone tapping on my shoulder.
342
And these things come out of me.
343
And lo and behold, these things explode.
344
They get huge.
345
And now you're in a really interesting situation where, and I'm not just trying to pump up your tires here, but like it's quite big right now.
346
And hundreds of millions of streams and people chasing you down the street.
347
And a lot of people come into your shows and you're getting written.
348
I mean, when I'm Googling you, you're getting written about it in a lot of different places.
349
And I've just talked to artists like this before.
350
It's like the getting away from it all was the ticket.
351
And then the getting away from it all led to being brought back into it in some ways.
352
How have you been finding what's the hardest part of it, of trying to hold on to that thing that you found
353
and not letting this newfound fame and success interfere with the thing that gave you what you needed?
354
Do you know what I mean?
355
Yes, I do.
356
And that's a good question.
357
One I talk to My friends
358
that I brought up earlier I talk to them every day
359
Those are my best friends I just saw them in New York
360
And we hung out for the day They keep me grounded When we talk, we talk every day We never talk about music
361
Or anything that's going on in my career We talk about Our sex lives
362
And just dumb shit And that's it And just like the same way it was in high school.
363
And so that keeps me, my head away from it.
364
And then also like, as far as like getting back into the studio and having time to actually do what I love, which is being in the studio and making music,
365
I think I just have to put my foot down and make sure that that is the priority right now.
366
because there's a lot of things now coming up
367
and sessions being moved or canceled because of new things popping up and that is killing me.
368
And so I think I just need to make sure I put my foot down
369
when I can to make sure
370
that the most important part of this is being protected and that I can still do it.
371
And I think the hardest part is done.
372
I think the hardest part is figuring out what the stuff you wanted to say
373
and how you wanted your message to come out.
374
And it's no surprise to me that people are connecting with it.
375
Thank you.
376
I think it's a really lovely record.
377
Thank you.
378
I think you made a great record.
379
We're going to play Sally When the Wine Runs Out, which is the big hit.
380

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
