Dave Blunts opened up about his decision to step back from the music industry after struggling to gain traction with the release of five EPs. Blunts, who initially began his music journey recording tracks on his phone, was encouraged to take his craft more seriously by a high school friend who invited him to use a proper studio setup. Despite dedicating long hours in the studio, Blunts' releases ailed to make the impact he had hoped for. Living on Social Security and grappling with self-doubt, Blunts often felt pressure from discouraging voices, leading him to temporarily quit. In one instance, he even threw his equipment in the trash, only for his supportive mother to retrieve it and encourage him not to give up on his dreams.
