I think I was doubting myself a lot and wasting a lot of time and feeling sorry for myself because things weren’t going easily for me. I was definitely very concerned about my place in this world, and life and everything. It’s a frightening and humbling feeling to be trying very hard at something and not getting the recognition from your peers and from the world that you think maybe—not that you deserve, because nobody deserves anything. You take your music and put it up against other people’s music that people respect and you’re thinking, I think I can at least play on the same field as these people. It doesn’t mean that, you know, “I’m so wonderful,” or anything. That was very disturbing for a long time.

Trynin became the spark that set off one of the most heated bidding wars of the year. Major labels vied for her, to the tune of millions of dollars in deals. Lawyers, managers, and booking agents clamored for her attention. Billboard put her on the cover. Everyone knew she was the Next Big Thing. But then she wasn’t. - Everything I’m Cracked Up to Be
