“I’m a having a little bit of a hard time at the moment and just kind of my relationship with it,” Shawn said. “But I have lots of people sending me videos and telling me what’s going on.”

He continued, “I think that when I make music, the ultimate goal is to kind of be sitting there and have my own truth revealed to me.
