All right, we're here with Zach Topp, our new Artist of the Year winner.
00:04
I mean, that was a competitive group this year.
00:06
I mean, how does it feel to be among such incredible people and rise above?
00:11
Yeah, everybody in that category had phenomenal, phenomenal years.
00:15
And not just this year, the past couple few years have been huge for them.
00:20
And so I'm very thankful that, you know, I've never been in it for the awards.
00:26
I like delivering from my soul and heart what I'm thinking and feeling to the fans.
00:34
But it's really, really cool when other people in your business doing what you do, you know,
00:40
give you a vote of confidence, pat on the back and say good job.
00:44
So I'm very, very thankful for it.
00:46
And, yeah, just feel like it was a win already to get nominated in a handful of categories.
00:51
I love that.
00:51
And last thing before you go,
00:52
what is some advice that you would give to someone who might relate to you
00:56
and be in your position and want to be where you are, the new Artist winner?
01:01
Just keep being you.
01:02
I think it's easy to kind of look around at everything else that's going on
01:07
and get influenced by that and feel like you should be doing this a little different
01:11
or that a little different.
01:12
But, like, the reason that you get noticed or the reason that you kind of, you know,
01:17
get a following or some fans is because there's something special and unique about you.
01:20
So lean into that, keep doing that, and don't listen to too much of the noise.
01:26
Absolutely.
01:26
So well said.
01:27
Couldn't have said it better myself.
01:28
Thank you so much, Zach.
01:29
Congratulations.
01:30
Appreciate it.
