I'm good. How are you doing, Daryl?

I am good. So you're coming to us from California. What part of California? Is it down San Diego? Yep, yeah, I'm based in San Diego. Awesome. Yeah, that's a beautiful place. So you have a lot going on. You have a new single that was just released. That's all you need is lust. you have a new album coming out in February,

and that's The you need is Lust. You have a new album coming out

in February, and that's the Diary of You on Lust on Midtopia. Is that your third album?

It's my second album. I did put out an EP in between those two, but my second full length.

Okay, cool. Awesome. So I was checking out your music. It's super fun. And you have become

really well known initially because you had some really viral videos. You still do. And a great

musician, great drummer. You have a really big background. So tell me, tell me about your early years

and also how you came about this album, because this album's kind of a departure from what you've

done before. Yeah, definitely. I mean, my my background in music with drumming specifically

is actually the video game rock band. I come from a family of gamers and nerds. I was already

playing piano at the time, so I kind of, you know, was into music and we got

that video game.

My parents, you know, there's the four of us, my sister and my parents, we'd play as

a band, you know, two people on, or one on guitar, one on bass, one singing, and then I always

loved playing the drums.

And so that's kind of what you know sparked

me to to start actually playing drums and I just loved the feeling of playing and so I took some

lessons started playing with other kids around my area and that led me into yeah like live performances

and then through that community

of young musicians and and the teachers i was working with um they got me into like songwriting
