[0:03]It's crazy to think about because it's been so many years now. Oh my God. I was fresh out of my nursing career. I had no idea what was in front of me. There was a naive sort of hubris about me that I knew best and that nobody could tell me how to make my art. want to burn my organs, pour the bourbon, my burden for the moment. Even though it was my very first EP as a signed recording artist, it was the follow-up to my independent release called The Reaper that had kind of made it possible for me to transition out of um being a nurse and into being a full-time musician. There was so much pressure. It was like, oh, they signed a fraud. Um, I was scared sh**less out of my mind, like to be quite honest. I definitely had no idea what I was doing. I had no idea how to engineer, write, produce, record or anything. I was just shooting from the hip. But like how how beautiful and fun is that, right?
[1:11]Stressed out. So there were four tracks on Skeletons, but I think the one that is the most significant of them is is the title track, Skeletons. And I had written it kind of about my like the cognitive dissonance that I had doing a career in something that wasn't music, you know. I'd gotten into it with my dad, and I immediately went up to my room. I was like, I'll show him. And I, and I wrote skeletons, like in an hour.
[1:42]I can't believe it. like you used to
[2:01]Yeah, it just feels very candid.
[2:10]Truly, this whole trilogy of of EPs was was a developmental process for me. Um, and I think we can see the growth with every single one. Everything always felt like a conversation with the fan base in the greatest way.
