Just over three years ago, the official Hundred Waters Instagram account posted that each person in the band was working on their own music but that the band was still working on music together. How did you all know it was time to work on your own music?

“I mean, I just knew. I knew that I needed to go off on my own. With the band, we were living and touring, and everything, together as a unit for so long, and after a decade of that, my soul needed a bit of a new direction. Any collaborative relationship can be tough, and I needed to explore creating in my own world again.”

While you were realizing it was time to fly solo, how did you realize you should also keep the band together?

"We were so close as people. We were still involved in each other’s processes and lives. It didn’t feel like we were completely cutting off from each other and not sharing things with each other. I mean, Tray [Tryon, of Hundred Waters] and I have a very back-and-forth relationship with music. We share things a lot with each other. It’s the center of the band, the center of our process."

"We have a good balance of strengths with each other. The band, and the music and community we’ve built, isn’t something I want to get rid of. I wanted to explore my own expression on a very individual level, but that band is such a big part of our lives and we built a lot of things together. We built a whole community, so we didn’t want to erase that completely."
