Jelly Roll is sharing how music has changed his life: 'When I was incarcerated, I had a set of headphones and a little radio.'
For the celebrated, burgeoning artist, music has been his lifeline and close friend during some of the tremendous trials and challenges in his life.
Jelly Roll's lived a textured life -- from addiction and life on the streets as a thief to time behind bars -- and it's not something he's shied away from. He buries his emotions in his music. "I'm constantly writing songs to show people that it's okay to be a work in progress. It's okay to still meet yourself in the middle," Jelly Roll said of his approach to songwriting."But I also wanted to make sure this time that I added the hopefulness to it and the tempo. I had some tempo changes. I wanted to be more uplifting, more major keys.
"There's no amount of celebrity or money that will ever mean more than the lady I just saw in the parking lot that's from Antioch, Tennessee, and asking if she takes a picture and just told me her brief piece of her story and what she's overcome in life and how I inspired that," he shared."You could throw billions of dollars at me, it'll never have the effect that I get, that feeling, when fans tell me the music helped them.", streaming now on Hulu.
