there is always another idea

I picked up the guitar when I was around ten years old. After learning my first few chords, I wrote my first song. From the very beginning, I was more drawn to creating something new than replaying someone else’s work.

A few years ago, I dove into a lot of songwriting sessions with other artists and producers. It was fun, but looking back, I see what held me back. I was clinging to ideas. I didn’t want to waste a lyric, a sound, a riff.

Now, especially as I’m working on my new album, I’ve realized something different. there will always be a next idea. Another riff, another line. It’s not that creating more empties you out. It’s the opposite. The more you create, the more ideas come to you. The more open you walk through life, the more sparks you’ll notice.

And I think that’s true for more than just music. Take love. If you love more, you don’t run out of it. It multiplies. For people, for nature, for life.
