This week we have the honor of sitting down with Musician & Artist Ry X for a profound conversation around creative expression. Ry X opens up about the challenges many artists face: from monetizing art to staying true to yourself in an industry driven by profit. He shares how he has kept a pure connection to his creative expression through giving himself the space to get inspired. He also explains his relationship to sharing on social media, building community instead of fandom, and using devotion as a Northstar in live shows.
Ry x shares how fatherhood changed him and taught him a deeper love that transcends familial lines.
