He believes performers should have fun and engage the crowd during their shows.

“if you're gonna perform just have fun I've seen so many shows that like so many acts take themselves way too seriously whether they be rapper whether they be any like other genre it's just like this is not fun for them for the person in the audience and it's contagious as well when you are having fu”

Performing in a venue size that can be filled by one's own audience provides a powerful sense of accomplishment.

“I sat in that the Wilbur my first time I did a theater was a big moment really big moment and I wanted to say to someone hey we're killing it and I had no one there and I actually had a moment where I went so it's just me wow yeah”

There is significant value in a band choosing to limit their touring schedule to maintain artistic focus and avoid over-exposure.

“there's a lot of power and saying no to things too you know not in the same city they would travel no yeah yeah you get that I was I I'm taking 9 months off in July because I was just at the [ __ ] the Yum Center it's like the [ __ ] Arena”

Living in close quarters on a tour bus creates a unique bond between band members that deepens over time.

“it's all these little small little things that we walk through together that just Bond it deeper the bond gets deeper”
