After hearing him talk about the importance of sticking to one’s creative process, my respect for him has greatly increased. As a kid growing up, I used to just think about ‘cool.’
I used to loop the songs Bamboo sang. I didn’t know much about what he went through back then. I would occasionally get to photograph him while he performed on stage much later, like what is seen above. I never expected today would come.
The artists I used to listen to as a kid seem to echo what I believe in about work. I’ve met and encountered two of them now. It is an exhilarating thought. Was it fate that I gravitated to them when I was younger?
I am the odd one. My excitement does not come from hearing my favorite musicians perform my favorite songs on stage because I could always listen to those songs privately. It comes from hearing them talk about what they went through to be where they are now. I love hearing them tell their stories live and unedited.
My life feels like an unfinished circle slowly finishing itself.
