[Shared a post with you]

✔️

So, you DO have a band!!!

Never said I didn't 🤨

✔️

Hmm you did say you don't have any songs worth releasing

Not personally, no!

Owl is actually just a few friends from college. I sometimes play with them when they need an extra guitarist/instrumentalist!! so actually like... almost all of their shows

Actually, mostly though for the past four years, I've been working as a session musician

✔️

Oh no way!!

✔️

That's pretty fucking awesome!

Yeah!! I mean it was Until this STUPID FUCKING PANDEMIC HAPPENED

But yeah! Do you know the synth bit in the dayglow song that went viral recently

can I call you tonight?

✔️

Oh sure! Is everything okay?

what?

OH AKJDSKJS omg

that's what the song is called

✔️

OH OH

✔️

well, this is embarrassing!

PLS ur so cute

Anyway! That was me :D

✔️

oooo Let me check it out!!!

✔️

Oh wait that's actually really good

✔️

It's a really good song wow

I mean, it's not one of my own songs but I can officially say I played on a track that went viral on the internet 😎and I've actually played a bunch of instruments for a bunch of artists on their albums but this was the most recent soooo it's cool yeah :)

✔️

Hell yeah!!!!

✔️

but are you writing any content?

just small ideas, here and there! you? 👀

✔️

small ideas, here and there!

✔️

at this point, I don't think there'll be a new album for a while... But you know, I can't let my brain rot!

exaaaactly

do you miss it?

✔️

What do you mean?

being on stage in front of sold out stadiums?

screaming fans

You know, being out there

✔️

I mean, I have to be honest, I'm kind of enjoying this mental break from the whole world and the fame aspect of it all, it's been healing but

✔️

Yeah! For sure. I really do miss being on stage. It's so... what's the word

like you feel like youve been transported into another universe thats just you and the music, right?

✔️

Yes! It's just incredible

I mean, the largest crowd ive been in front of was about a few hundred people

i cant imagine performing for tens of thousands

✔️

It's nerve-racking

✔️

But also unbelievably exhilarating

I mean

I would like to feel that someday! Maybe ...

✔️

I really think you can do it!

Honestly, I am in awe of you

you were doing this while you were still in school

✔️

I mean, I'm really not that special, you know?

Miss Taylor Swift, this is a TAYLOR SWIFT SLANDER FREE zone. I will hear none of this slander on miss Taylor Swift, Miss Taylor Swift.

✔️

That's one too many Taylor Swifts

Just making sure you understand that you are truly amazing!

which I now realise is silly bc you have like ten grammys to tell you so as well

✔️

You're right, but the words still matter just as much if not more

I get that! :)

✔️

Sooooo

✔️

👀

✔️

do you have any clips of you performing live?

amsjsksks yes! let me check
