Heavydirtysoul (live specifically) – twenty one pilots
Best rider you have had?
Got PB&J once. Pretty cool.

Opening for AVOID on this last tour was surreal. I looked up to those dudes for a long time, getting to share the stage with them felt like a dream.
Deepest lyric one of your songs features?
I’ve got one song I sampled my cat’s meow. He’s really proud of it. I didn’t give him writing credit because he bit me that same morning.
Easiest song you wrote?
We wrote am I wrong in maybe 2 hours and now it’s being played on SiriusXM Octane. Such an insane thought.

Guest you’d most like to feature on your record?
Tyler Joseph, I’ll pay you whatever you want, man.
Hardest thing about being a musician?
Currently, I’m in a bit of a transitional period. I need a job to pay the bills still. I was faced with an ultimatum of quitting my desk job to pursue music more seriously, and that’s exactly what I did. Now I get free coffee and my nights are free.
