Deep dives
Pivotal Moments: ACL Injury and Band Breakup
One of the most significant sliding doors moments in my life was when I tore my ACL as a dancer. It forced me to shift my focus more towards music and pursue it more seriously. Additionally, the breakup of my old band motivated me to embark on my solo journey, which eventually led me to where I am today.
Restaurant Reservations: A Perk of Fame
One of the perks I enjoy about being famous is the ability to easily secure restaurant reservations. As someone who appreciates food and enjoys going out to good restaurants, it's nice to have that level of accessibility without the hassle or wait times that others may encounter.
Assumptions and Aggression
One of the things I dislike about fame is the assumptions and aggression that can sometimes come with it. People may pre-judge me or have a chip on their shoulder, assuming I have an ego or expecting me to be unimpressed. It can be disheartening to deal with such attitudes when I genuinely try to approach social interactions with kindness and humility.
The importance of authenticity and self-confidence
Orville discusses how finding his own self-confidence and believing in himself has shaped who he is today, emphasizing the importance of authenticity in his music and creative endeavors.
The power of journaling and positive misinterpretation
Orville shares two mental health tools that have been valuable in his life. He emphasizes the benefits of journaling as a way to clear his mind and process thoughts, and also advocates for practicing positive misinterpretation to detach from negative assumptions and interpretations of situations.
