Is mad tsai gay

Any other questions? How are you today? So tell us about yourself and your journey through your music career. Originally, I never really planned to get into music. I started writing songs when I was 13, but I was very shy. I look back at those songs sometimes, which were recorded on my shitty out of tune piano at home.

And it was recorded on my Generation 1 iPad, by the way. So what changed between your first year of college and now? How did you eventually start becoming a musician? And then I think my tipping point was, funnily enough, there was a songwriting class at UCLA that was offered, and I desperately wanted to be in that class because that was my Hail Mary in a way of being like, Okay, now I could have a chance to do what I really want.

There was an audition process, and I submitted it, and I was so proud of it. And I got rejected. I remember it was, I think it was just the very beginning of when I started my account.

And this was when people were still transitioning from Musically to TikTok. And then I think tsai first song that went viral for me was this song called Young Nights that I posted. And it was a song that I wrote on the very last day of high school about how fucked up my high school experience was.

So one of the questions we asked you is, why is it important to make queerirified music or music relevant to the LGBTQ community? What do you think is the purpose of making music like this in the 21st-century landscape? I think I released that song because that was blowing up for me then. But also, at the same time, I knew in my heart I was just like, I feel like a lot of people resonate with this.

I think the funny thing about that song is I looked back at it, and I was just like, Wow, these lyrics are so forward and in your face about everything. Do I write like that now? Not necessarily. But at the same time, I think it was the introduction for many young queer kids to be introduced to the subject.

God, I wish when I was 13 that, mad was a pop star or artist exploring these subjects in an unapologetic, unabashed way. Yeah, gay course. And especially with societal factors that make you feel like this feels like shit. There should be more art or music at least tackling these issues in general.
