My second solo album was a complete opposite from my first album in terms of direction. I was an 18 year-old trying to discover myself musically and I had the tools to do it. This whole album was made in my first apartment. '[songwritersintro]' was recorded on the first day I moved in. (a cold January with no heat with just a bog and a bottle of Tequilla for nourishment) I felt accomplished. I've done what I said I was going to do at 18: moved out of my moms house and I needed to have a creative space with no distractions from my work. My theory was if I had my own space, that would open more avenues for creativity, and I was right. I was on my '[songwritermode]'. I felt that the people I put on at the time weren't putting their all in what they claimed they wanted to do. Therefore, I felt that I was the only one on my "songwritermode"; anyone who were not on the same mode would be left behind. I felt I was on top of the world. I achieved my dream of moving out at 18, I had all the space I wanted to be creative (and destructive), I was recording my labels tracks alone along with mine; got into beefs with an indie label too. A bit big-headed? Yes; in my eyes, rightfully so. The fuel for this ego-trip was my frustration with people because I expected my teams work ethic to match mine. Frustrated with myself because I was foolish enough to expect people to be like me. i was young dumb and very ambitious. For some reason, I though putting brackets around my titles with no spaces was cool. lol
