Chappell Roan said in an interview recently that the more successful we want to be in this industry, the more we have to exploit ourselves. Unfortunately, it\u2019s no different for me. But this is my passion, and my mind is constantly in creative mode.

Daily prayers are also part of my routine, and gratitude is incredibly important to me. For example, my best friend joined me for two weeks during the U.S. tour, and I\u2019m so thankful for memories like that and for being able to fly out friends and family. Our world feels so chaotic right now, so having 90 minutes to sing and dance with people during the show is such a gift.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":118326,"id":118326,"title":"LilyF_140823_ 004","filename":"Griff-Vertigo-lead-press-image-c-Warner-Music-Group.jpeg","filesize":857741,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Vertigo-lead-press-image-c-Warner-Music-Group.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/griff-balancing-passion-and-creative-control\/lilyf_140823_-004\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"LilyF_140823_ 004","name":"lilyf_140823_-004","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":118319,"date":"2024-11-28 12:40:16","modified":"2024-11-28 12:40:16","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Vertigo-lead-press-image-c-Warner-Music-Group.jpeg","thumbnail-width":96,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Vertigo-lead-press-image-c-Warner-Music-Group.jpeg","medium-width":1920,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Vertigo-lead-press-image-c-Warner-Music-Group.jpeg","medium_large-width":1920,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Vertigo-lead-press-image-c-Warner-Music-Group.jpeg","large-width":1920,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Vertigo-lead-press-image-c-Warner-Music-Group-1536x1536.jpeg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Vertigo-lead-press-image-c-Warner-Music-Group.jpeg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Vertigo-lead-press-image-c-Warner-Music-Group.jpeg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":12,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Vertigo-lead-press-image-c-Warner-Music-Group.jpeg","wpvr_mobile-width":1920,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"Image Courtesy of Warner Music Central Europe."}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p class=\"interview-question\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S: You\u2019ve opened for Sabrina Carpenter, Coldplay, and Taylor Swift.

While I toured with Sabrina, our lives are so different. I don\u2019t know if mainstream success is something I\u2019ll ever truly strive for. I\u2019m a creative perfectionist. When working on <em>Vertigo<\/em>, I had the chance to collaborate with some highly successful producers, but I didn\u2019t want to make a hit just for the radio. I don\u2019t want to be known for just one song. I want to make music that sounds like Griff, even if no radio station ever plays it because it doesn\u2019t fit a typical mold.

I didn\u2019t have a clear direction at first, but as I listened to my recordings and went through my notes, I realized that many of my songs were written from the perspective of someone full of insecurities, afraid of losing balance in life. Insecurities about the future, friendships, relationships, self-identity, and the world around us. <em>Vertigo<\/em> captures that feeling perfectly, which is why I wanted it to open the album.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":118323,"id":118323,"title":"Griff - Ver2igo","filename":"Griff-Ver2igo.jpeg","filesize":575031,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Ver2igo.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/griff-balancing-passion-and-creative-control\/griff-ver2igo\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"griff-ver2igo","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":118319,"date":"2024-11-28 12:39:52","modified":"2024-11-28 12:39:52","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1000,"height":1000,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Ver2igo.jpeg","thumbnail-width":96,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Ver2igo.jpeg","medium-width":1000,"medium-height":1000,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Ver2igo.jpeg","medium_large-width":1000,"medium_large-height":1000,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Ver2igo.jpeg","large-width":1000,"large-height":1000,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Ver2igo.jpeg","1536x1536-width":1000,"1536x1536-height":1000,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Ver2igo.jpeg","2048x2048-width":1000,"2048x2048-height":1000,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Ver2igo.jpeg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":12,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Griff-Ver2igo.jpeg","wpvr_mobile-width":1000,"wpvr_mobile-height":1000}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"Image Courtesy of Warner Music Central Europe."}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p class=\"interview-question\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S: You\u2019re credited as a writer and producer on all tracks, which isn\u2019t very common.

Since I taught myself everything early on, I still approach new projects with a DIY mindset. Why hire tons of people and use a massive budget when I can handle the visual elements, songwriting, and production with my team or on my own? It\u2019s important to me to decide how my music should sound and how my music videos and performance outfits should look. I have a vision, and I want to bring it to life.
