“I’m all in, and I think this is the launchpad,” Metts’ explained to the outlet. “This is the very first thing, to get people hopefully interested in me as a person and connecting with my story. And then from there on out, it’s just articulating emotions through music. And I hope to do that for the rest of my life.”
