ONCE a fanboy… ALWAYS a fanboy.
Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy!
Every now and then, you come across an artist whose music doesn’t just sound good, it feels real. Someone who doesn’t hide behind production or image, but turns every song into a window into where they are in life. That’s what I love about today’s guest. His sound bends genres, but the emotion always hits dead center.
We were actually supposed to do this interview over Zoom a few weeks back, but because the universe sometimes gives me a little pat on the back, I got lucky and we get to do this one face-to-face. Fangirls and fanboys, please welcome eaJ!
