Primo the Alien

During quarantine, I’ve changed my perspective on what it means to create. Before, I was so focused on the next thing that I lost the joy that came from the process. Instead of asking myself, “What will become of the music?,” I’m asking myself, “What does the music mean to me now?”

I’ve found some of the innocence I had when I wrote my first songs as a teenager, creating with no agenda. Music has always been my therapy, but I’m now leaning on it in a way I never have before: for escape, energy and hope. I’ve been reminded not to take the gift of music or the chance to share it with others for granted.
