Transcript:
Honestly, music is very therapeutic.
The hard times that I encountered, I kind of was able to pour that into my music.
Ringing the bell this morning was pretty surreal. A lot of energy, a lot of positivity. I enjoyed it.
Definitely never suspected I would be pushing that button, signing that line at any time in my life. “New Money,” my new album, is very personal.
You know, we dropped “Fancy Like” two, three years ago and it changed my life.
And so, you can hear about that in my lyrics on the new project, “New Money.” “Be A Craig Fund” is one of the most important parts of what we do.
We provide new or used vehicles for families in need through various outlets, and we just give where we can.
Honestly, what keeps me motivated is just a love of writing a song. I have a love for my fans. For the whole process of music. I have an opportunity to make something out of nothing.
