I once made a comment on social media about my conflict with February consistently being my busiest month of the year. I had 2 consecutive years where I played 20+ college shows in one month (maybe about 5 or so the rest of the year). Those two years left an imprint on me, an unsettled feeling that has never left. “Don't bite the hand that feeds you, Joy. Appreciate the fact that 40% of your income comes from a month with the least amount of days. Don't get annoyed with the fact that these campuses are only booking you b/c it's Black History Month. You're black.”
