Hey Karly!
I just want to say that I love your music and I feel like you have revived my love of all things DIY.
I wanted to ask what you think you'd be doing if you weren't a full time musician/artist. Perhaps you'd still be doing these things in tandum but just wondering if there is any other career path that ever interested you?
Also, we have a lot of the same taste in video games lol. If you haven't played "Gone Home" yet I highly recommend. Sort of like Edith Finch but shorter and a little spookier.

whooooa tbh it stressed me out so much to think of a world where Iโm not doing music full time!!!!!
Luckily I put all of my eggs in that basket and made it my only option. Itโs hard to think of a world where I didnโt make it my biggest and only goal.
If I wasnโt playing music full time Iโd probably wanna do something that would give me a lot time outside of work to work on music lol. I think I would probably try to be my sisterโs secretary (shes a doctor of acupuncture)
Maybe Iโd try to run a DIY venue??? Or something else thatโs involved in contributing to the local music community. I think DIY spaces are still one of the coolest parts of the music โmachineโ rn, kinda the only spots that consistently uphold values/integrity (not all, but many!).
Thereโs a really neat space in Greensboro where I live called Etc. that does shows and community events and social justice organizing and shitโฆ I would probably wanna be contributing to something like that if I wasnโt doing what Iโm doin rn.
hmmmm Iโd probably also be doing sewing stuff a lot too if I wasnโt touring like I do but tbh the fashion world is a deeply intimidating place to me so Iโm glad thatโs not my main industry rn.
I have played Gone Home also <3 I love it, but def pales in comparison to Edith Finch imo
