Full Transcription of Mylo’s story:
Hello, I’m Mylo Choy. I live in Brooklyn, New York. Most of my career has been working with youth and making art and music. They seem different, but a lot of them are the same because all of it is about how people feel. *laughs* This E.P “Night is like the Ocean” was recorded upstate in Livingston Manor, New York. A friend of a friend is the engineer and producer on it. I’ve worked with him several times. First, with my old band Small Talk and I just really liked his vibe. And also the recording studio is this house that has windows all the way around and you can see the snow. Winter is such a great time to record because you really can’t do much else. I just always like working with him. It’s really nice to work with someone where you could ask someone their honest opinion and they’ll tell you and they’ll always go with your decision at the end of the day, because I am such a control freak, especially when it comes to art things. I think because it’s so personal. I’d like to get to a point where I’m a little more collaborative.

“Nowadays with social media, it’s a lot of work to be vulnerable. It’s a lot of work to be present online and to put yourself out there every single day, but its also very rewarding. It has given me the motivation to continue going in the industry when fans connect and come up to me at shows to talk about mental health, insecurities, or how our music is able to keep them going. Me sharing my journey with mental health and suicide prevention has helped them in their own way. It’s pretty remarkable. It continues to keep me open. Anytime that I’m feeling insecure thinking, “oh god, maybe I share too much.” To hear feedback and that it’s actually helping other folks makes me think, “this is what I’m meant to do and I’m going to keep doing it.” To me, that’s success and the type of energy exchange that I want to have with people while I’m doing this, is to be 100 percent authentic, so that everyone can feel comfortable and safe at our shows and safe in in music in general.”
