AHEE: LSD Alien Adventures and National Touring with Big Gigantic and Subtronics
AHEE talks about his tour with Big Gigantic and Subtronics, contact with aliens, taking care of his physical and mental health during touring, developing his stage persona, the importance of helping others and building a team of people with shared values.
My favorite quote from AHEE about his path.
"9 years ago I was living in a house with 15 other people, my "room" was a small space in a hallway separated by hanging sheets for privacy.
Struggling financially and barely scraping by month to month - my intense passion for music kept me going. I shoved myself in this tiny garage-turned-studio and made music every night - visualizing myself performing in front of massive crowds on stage.
It may have not made sense at the time but giving up was never an option for me."
