I'm a Cancerian, the typical crab with the tough outer shell and the soft bit in the middle. I don't think I'll ever come to terms with people being unnecessarily nasty, but I can take it if someone doesn't like my music - I'm not everyone's cup of tea. ↗

I always try to be myself. Ever since I was an introverted kid, I'd get on stage and be able to break out of my shell. ↗
