We had the good fortune of connecting with J Skitzo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi J, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
Yeah, work/life balance can definantly be a challenge for me sometimes. It can be hard managing hanging out with friends, keeping healthy relationships, as well as keeping a steady income and trying to create the best music I possibly can but I try to usually just focus on what I feel is best for me at the time because I’ve learned that is what works best in my life.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Music is honestly my life and has been the only constant in it. No matter what I’ve been going through or what’s going on externally I’ve always listened to music. When I was a teen I was in and out of the psych ward a lot and that’s where I picked up my art form, writing. I was never good at expressing/understanding my thoughts and feelings and I learned that writing things out was my way of coping, combine it was my passion for music and that’s how I make my songs. I want the world to know that everything I write is genuine and it means the world to me when some of y’all can relate!.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Well I’m originally from Pennsylvania so I have had multiple homies/family members come out and some places I always gotta take em to are in n out, Hook them up with some good Mexican food and usually just spend the night down in Oceanside having fun on the beach or just cruising around the town.
