“After leaving this program, I feel like I have my feet under me. I have a career, I have a 401K, I have a salary… you know, full-time benefits… it’s an incredible experience to do something that I love and that I’m passionate about, but also pays the bills. Also keeps me steady and keeps me growing in all the right ways. It pushes me and challenges me… and every single day I’m just living, breathing music in some type of way, shape, or form, and that’s always been the dream, and it’s a little bit surreal to be living it now. And I’m grateful for Dark Horse for giving me that chance.”
