FULLSELF SESSIONS 32 featuring Chicago’s very own ONION is OUT NOW! 🔥🔥🧅🔥🔥
Chicago…
WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?!
Every time I think this city has shown me everything it’s capable of, another conversation like this reminds me why I’ve stayed rooted here in my parents basement for nearly twenty years.

This isn’t just an interview with a band.
It’s a conversation about how art comes alive

It’s about siblings becoming collaborators.
It’s about Sunday jam sessions evolving into something real.
It’s about embracing improvisation over perfection.
It’s about unlearning who you thought you had to be so you can become the artist you already are.

We talk songwriting, dreams, timbre, DIY ethics, vulnerability, community, creative burnout, psychedelics, artistic intuition, and why the best ideas often arrive the moment you stop forcing them.

One of my biggest takeaways:

✨ Schedule your next rehearsal before the current one ends.
✨ Make art a reason to gather with the people you love.
✨ Give yourself permission to make something imperfect.

That’s where the magic begins 🪜

@oniontheband also performs “Stranger” and “Burning It Down” live during the session—and they absolutely ignite the room ⚡️

What keeps blowing me away is watching the Chicago DIY community continue to evolve. Every artist I meet reminds me that creativity isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up, staying curious, trusting one another, and building something bigger than yourself.

Chicago…
We’re cooking.
We’re creating.
We’re dreaming.
We’re unlearning.
We’re building a community where imperfect art has room to breathe.
THE CITY IS GETTING HAWT. 🔥
Throw this episode on while you’re making dinner, driving home, painting, writing, rehearsing, or simply looking for a reminder of why you create in the first place.

Let’s keep lighting fires together 🎶

🧅 @fullselfsessions 32 featuring ONION is streaming now on YouTube!
