Football sometimes is stressful. Music is more of a kind of laid-back type, chilled-out kind of activity. It kind of keeps me balanced, I guess.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sports without music, it's nothing but a game. Music adds the emotion.
I feel like I'd have a different approach to football now after doing music.
Sports without music is just a game. Music makes it entertaining.
Music itself is a great source of relaxation. Parts of it anyway. Working in the studio, that's not relaxing, but playing an instrument that I don't know how to play is unbelievably relaxing, because I don't have any pressure on me.
Playing football was like being trapped in a rhythm, and my whole career was like that. You have very little time to switch off.
I've been through a lot off the field. I think that kind of translates onto the field. Football serves for a lot of life lessons, and so it allows me to stay humble and continue to work.
I drove right into the music with the same sort of attitude as I went into the football stuff with. Just found a routine and hard work, and it helped me progress a lot faster.
Working out gives me the opportunity to let go and listen to my music; it's a big stress reliever.
I've messed myself up more playing music than when I played football.
Sports and music are the same thing to me. When done wrong, they are really frustrating; when done right, they can change your day.
