Alex [da Kid] Does Have

Once I've Learned All Those Things And Gotten Through The Hard Times, I Come Out Feeling Really Powerful.

The Best Songs For Me Come From The Search For Joy. You're In A Negative Place Maybe, But You're Still Striving To Improve Yourself And Find Happiness.

I Always Knew I Wanted To Do Music, But It Took Me A Long Time To Figure Out How To Exactly Do That. With My First Record Deal, Everything Kinda Fell Apart. I Wasn't Ready For It, I Didn't Know How To Handle The Business Side At All. I Thought As Soon As I Got A Record Deal, Everything Would Fall Into Place And I Wouldn't Have To Really Do Any Work Anymore. I Could Just Make Music, And Be Successful. Well That Was Not The Case And Everything Fell Apart For A Period Of Time.

I Moved Out To L.a. When I Was 17, Dropped Out Of High School, And Pursued A Career In Music.

I Didnt Have Any Knowledge Of The Music Industry When I First Got To L.a., And I Really Didnt Know On A Creative Level What I Wanted To Sound Like, So I Had To Do A Lot Of Experimenting. It Led To A Spiral Of Depression And Being Broke.
