I was very fortunate.
I'm an only child and I grew up with parents who were extremely conscious to offer me every opportunity to explore
art and literature and sports and dancing and all kinds of stuff.
Music was the thing that I gravitated towards at a very early age and they recognized that.
So I think I was smart enough to recognize opportunity when it came a-knockin', you know,
and I think I was I was fortunate enough to have the support of my family.
I mean my dad was was
tremendously
[N] instrumental in allowing me to pursue it at an age when most kids are kind of, you know,
watching their friends go off to university, which I was doing.
I was like 16, 17 and all my friends were going off to university and getting jobs and you know,
and I was and I was working at a-as a telephone operator part-time and
gigging at night and I was only able to do that because my parents were really supportive and I lived at home and
I had a little bit of money in my pocket because I had this job and I, you know, things happened for me very quickly,
but I it would have been much more difficult to do it [A] without the support [E] of my family.
[D] [A]
I [E] woke up with a killer hangover, [A] hope it was worth all this pain.
[E] When I travel, not [D] just in the US, but when I travel around the world,
the one thing I get [E] asked a lot is, you know,
well, what do you think it is about, particularly about Canadian artists?
And I always say that, you know, I think I think Canada and this is not to,
you know, this is not to indulge the idea that we are the poorer cousins of the US,
but the idea that Canada is a smaller market,
but it's such a more compressed market for artists and I think that you you really get an opportunity to develop as an artist [G] here
before the rest of [Dm] the world knows who you are.
[A] I remember [Em] yelling,
Hey DJ, [G] Jack the Bog, [D] I love [E] this song.
[F#] I think that there, it's it's an incremental thing and I think that they come, it comes [A] in milestones,
you know, small milestones.
The first time I went to Paris,
I found my mother from the base of the Eiffel Tower and I told her, you know, mom, I made it, you know, I'm in Paris.
The first time that I got to sing in front of 15,000 people in my hometown, I felt like I had made it.
[E]
[F#] [E] I think it's, you know, it's a series of little things and [F#] and hopefully you get to kind of span the whole trajectory of your career
and you get to look back on those things and
realize that, you know, you made it a whole bunch of times.
And it was all the little things that kind of add up to this incredible journey.
