00:00when that video started blowing up what was the first thing that you thought like at some point
00:04maybe kind of posting videos was something that was a little smaller end for you you wanted to
00:10expand it yeah i mean i just i was playing gigs just around ireland for years and i thought upon
00:17myself just around covet time to post covers in my bedroom actually wasn't in my bedroom it was
00:22like an office that i had in my my parents house and uh i just done that for like years
00:27and years
00:27and then i just sat in my bedroom um a few days after christmas in 2023 and i sat i
00:32think this
00:33song i was listening to a lot at the time i wanted to record a cover so i sat there
00:36my guitar just
00:37played it myself an hour or two it was finished and i uh sent it off to a guy online
00:42who mixed it
00:42for me it was like a hundred hundred bucks it cost it was like nothing and sent it back to
00:46me and then
00:46my younger brother took me out well i took him out the forest nearby where i live and there's like
00:50a
00:50nice waterfall really it was the first time i ever recorded the video outside of my house
00:54uh and he set up the camera and just press record and i lip synced the second verse and
00:58you know i'm my own worst enemy so i was like this is not going to really do anything for
01:02me but i
01:02i put it up online it just overnight just went crazy and that was i mean i was seeing some
01:07videos
01:07before that do okay like you know it was nothing like this magnitude and you know that was the first
01:11time something went that big for me and i was like whoa no it's such a small town of a
01:15few thousand
01:15people to like millions seeing you across the world it was just surreal and you know my parents
01:20latched well my parents always supported me from the very start but they were like you know this
01:24could be really the start of something special and you know they've stuck with me obviously ever
01:28since and support everything i do and you know it's just crazy how that one video has changed so much
