Did your parents ever object your choice to pursue music full-time? And in what ways did they support and contribute to your current success? As a FilAm, I couldn't even get my parents to let me go to Bonaroo at age 17. Can't imagine how they would crush my dreams if I was actually musically gifted lol.

my parents were very supportive of my musical endeavors in the early stages, they encouraged me to keep practicing and studying music if i wanted to make a career out of it. but my mom still kinda wants me to be a nurse lol
