So, you know, I've been looking forward to talking to you for a long time for a few reasons.

One, you're a fantastic player, and I think you're one of the people out there really pushing the boundaries of the instrument, especially as a solo voice.

And that's something we talked about a lot in the chorus, tapping.

But also, I think, you represent, I think, a new direction

for people looking to make a career out of music,

and that is, as a content creator on YouTube.

People, perhaps of my generation and older,

are not as naturally familiar with that.

So I'm excited to talk with you about that.

But before we do that, let's get a little bit of your background.

So you're originally from the UK, right?

Yeah, I am.

Yeah, so I grew up in England and I lived there until I was 19.

You know, just went to school.

And then I actually did a year of a physics degree.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

Because, you know, in school, I was pretty good with maths and stuff and science-type subjects.

And I was really into music in school, and I was playing in bands, and I was playing piano and also bass.

But, you know,

no one in my family is a professional musician or anything like that. I grew up in quite a small town.

So, you know, there wasn't really any like music scene or anything like that. And doing music professionally didn't really seem like a realistic option at first.
