KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• Having the confidence to pursue your own path may take some time, but believing in yourself and your message can help you feel like you need to share it with others. 
• It’s okay to pay homage to your influences, but don’t get too caught up in re-creating what they’ve already done! The key is in finding your own voice.
• Creating art is often a journey of self-discovery, and it can be rewarding to see how your work has evolved over time. Be proud of where you’ve come from and let that reflect in your music.
