yet, both. Push your own musi-
cal boundaries in every aspect as
much as possible. Update your
social media and build content for
fans. Don’t take yourself so seri-
ous, but take your music and craft
serious. A big part of the ‘next
step’ is essentially turning your
band into a small business, some-
thing that people are always think-
ing about and want to check out.
How did Justin learn to sing the
way he does, and how does he
keep that style from hurting his
throat?
He figured out what works best
for him. He’s constantly working on
training his vocals to go in many di-
rections. It’s always exciting when
we write a new record to see all the
new things he’s learned and how
he will apply it to the songs.
I really like ‘The House (That Fear
Built)’ and its menacing video.
What inspired that song and the
video?
‘The House (That Fear Built)’ is
Justin by himself with visuals of an
insane asylum. I look at it as a met-
aphor for being in your own mind.
