Like it was for many artists, the pandemic was a moment of reckoning for Channel Tres. The rapper, singer and producer said he had a chance to sit down and take inventory of himself, assessing both the positive and the negative aspects of his life. What he found — and changed — has transformed both what he creates and how he shares it with the world.
“I think that [with] the pandemic, I had a chance to really address those things, those self-limiting beliefs that were holding me back,” Young recalled. “It was a very crazy time. I couldn’t lean on the things I used to lean on to numb myself, so I had to deal with it coming into 2021. Now that I know these things, I can’t continue business as usual.”In 2021, Young went back and forth between the new changes he hoped to implement in his life and actually believing in where he was in life.
Abundance and success do not feel as impossible when a clearer path has been developed to reach them. “If you want to be great at something, it’s a sacrifice,” he added. “I had to add the little changes to my life to make that reality. And I think a part of that is that you feel like you’re giving up maybe fun or time with friends or different things, but you have to analyze those relationships, too.
