I've messed myself up more playing music than when I played football.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I feel like I'd have a different approach to football now after doing music.
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 don't play the kind of music that works in a football stadium.
I was kind of torn between playing music or playing college football. I was going to college and really focusing on my music career.
I've been playing football forever, and I've been making plays forever.
I have never imagined doing anything other than football, but now, thinking about it coldly, if I hadn't been a footballer, I would have been a musician.
It took me a couple years to get over the stereotype I was letting myself get caught up on, being a football player trying to start a career in music.
The closest I've come to knowing myself is in losing myself. That's why I loved football before I loved music. I could lose myself in it.
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.
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.
