Having an education in another field has proven vital to providing for my family, especially during this past year.\n\n\"Teaching teenagers and working with hundreds of personalities throughout the years has also helped me grow and evolve as a person and as an artist. They're awesome and it's a privilege to be able to help young minds evolve. If I wasn't teaching and making music, I´d want to study art, design and creative writing. Or at least I plan for a further education but I can't imagine my life without music. That is just absurd to me.\" https://tinyurl.com/yc6xyzn9\n\nCatch Hjálmtýsson's sublime 2023 in-studio session in our sparkling Live Room at KEXP here: https://tinyurl.com/yf2hsw5n","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
