Thank you so much to MTV for believing in my weirdness from day one and for helping artists extend their worlds beyond a song.
There are so many things that have to align to have a long and successful career as an artist.
There are no decade-long accidents.
So I would like to acknowledge a few people.
My team who have been with me for over 20 years, Direct Management, and my label Capital Records.
Trust me, it takes a village of strong people, a lot of healthy discourse, and a lot of group chats.
My parents and my family, the deepest roots I know, we don't always agree, but what a lesson that those disagreements can still be full of love.
Thank you to Myspace, Warped Tour, and all the bygone places where I found a voice, identity, and a community so early on.
Thank you to the friends that were there when my Jetta was repossessed.
My Katy Cats who stood by me for a lifetime, and the LGBTQ community, who I recognize, I would not be here without, and who show me that you can be both kind and cute.
