This transcript captures the candid reflections of an artist navigating fame, the music industry, and personal growth from a young age. He reflects on the challenges of adjusting to life under intense scrutiny and handling the expectations that come with public attention. By sharing his vulnerability, he gives insight into the struggles with loneliness, mental health, and finding purpose, all while balancing his career.

He emphasizes the value of kindness over success, noting that genuine relationships and positive influences are more valuable than working with someone purely based on their accolades. He’s learned to assert his identity, even in creative settings, where people often push him to conform to certain looks or behaviors. These experiences led him to form a “core group” of supportive people, which has given him confidence to face challenging situations.

In recognizing both his successes and his struggles, he hopes to inspire others by showing that it’s possible to chase dreams and find fulfillment, despite setbacks. His message to young people, whether they aim to be doctors or artists, is to hold onto their dreams and never give up on themselves.
