How did you decide on what you wanted to do with your career?
At the beginning of my career, before I was with SanguinDrake, I actually took on my birth name which I haven’t had since I was three years old. But when I discovered that I loved poetry, and songwriting, and that I could play enough guitar that I could put these songs together, I decided I would adopt my birth name and sort of separate myself from the acting world completely. It was so wild to have that journey going on while also continuing to ride that Hollywood train. It gave me this enormous perspective and actually forced me to center in myself and not identify with either of those things, but just identify with who I am and what I really love about life. I was like, “Oh, man,” I want to do music festivals and I want to play in a band every minute that I possibly can. This is what makes me happy. Not that acting doesn’t, because I also love running around shooting machine guns and reading fantastic scripts. You read horrible scripts all the time, but every once in a while you’ll get these dream-come-true opportunities. Like reading for The Wolf of Wall Street, for example, and flying to New York to do that audition for Scorsese. That happened. Maybe I didn’t get that one, but it’s this amazing life we all have the potential to create where you can just change it and uplift it in a moment if you just take that step.
