    Have I Made It Ep. 5 | Yeemz

    In this episode of Have I Made It?, we sat down with Yeemz, a cellist, singer-songwriter and composer from Sofar LA. Yeemz reflects on forging her own path as an artist, from her roots in classical music to redefining what her instrument and career could look like.  She also opens up about overcoming the feeling that she needed permission to pursue music, finding the confidence to share her work beyond social media, and breaking the rules by playing her cello sideways like a guitar. Yeemz also explains why she stopped seeking validation from certain people. And while she doesn't feel like she's "made it" just yet, Yeemz shares why continuing to chase new goals keeps her inspired. Yeemz also released a new single on Aug. 12 that explores the feeling of constantly preparing for the worst, from expecting the person you're dating to lose interest to questioning what you're willing to sacrifice to succeed. The deeply personal track offers another glimpse into Yeemz's honest approach to vulnerability, ambition, and self-doubt.  Have I Made It? is a candid interview series exploring what success really looks and feels like.

    Have I Made It Ep. 4 | Ruth B.

    “I will sometimes just lay there and think about how many people know my music and listen to it and it wigs me out.” In this episode of Have I Made It?, we sit down with Ruth B. to explore how her definition of success has evolved in the years since “Lost Boy” became a global hit. From posting Vines to earning billions of streams, Ruth B. reflects on the lifelong journey of "making it" and why she's accomplished far more than she ever imagined. She also shares what it feels like to release deeply personal music into the world, why her newest album, “Peace to Make” marks a new chapter in her artistry, and how she's shifted her focus away from numbers and accolades toward creating music that feels true to her. It's an honest conversation about growth, ownership, and finding fulfillment in the art itself. Have I Made It? is a candid interview series exploring what success really looks and feels like.

    Have I Made It Ep. 3 | KELS

    "Waiting makes you unhappy. If you’re able to take control of what you view as ‘your problem,’ I don’t think you’ll be as unhappy as if you’re at least working towards finding a solution.” In this episode of Have I Made It?, we sit down with KELS, the self-proclaimed Dirty Blues Princess, also the title of her newest EP, to talk about the winding road from cleaning houses to touring the country and sharing her music with audiences around the world. KELS reflects on taking ownership of her career, why waiting for the "right moment" can hold you back, and the mindset that helped her create opportunities instead of waiting for them. Along the way, she shares what success looks like to her today and why believing in yourself often starts with trusting yourself to take the first step.

    Have I Made It Ep. 2 | Flyte

    "We’re always incredibly stressed out about how to carry on surviving, but we always manage it.” We asked Flyte: Have you made it? In this episode of Have I Made It?, we sit down with Flyte to explore the evolving nature of success and why artists often feel like they're always in a state of becoming. The duo reflects on the importance of pausing to recognize how far they've come, the gratitude they still feel every time people show up to their shows, and the sense of completeness that comes from watching an audience connect with their music in real time. They also share how their perspective on songwriting has changed over the years, revealing why they now believe a truly great song comes down to one thing: emotional clarity.

    Have I Made It Ep. 1 | Victoria Canal

    "Every single artist I've met, including Chris Martin, has said to me that sometimes it feels like you're failing no matter how far you are." We asked Victoria Canal: Have you made it? In the first episode of Have I Made It?, Victoria Canal opens up about her journey as an artist, the impact of Chris Martin's support early in her career, and the disconnect that can exist between how success looks from the outside and how it feels on the inside. Together, we explore ambition, validation, self-doubt, and the question every artist wrestles with at some point: What does it really mean to make it?
