he gets obsessive about his stuff and has been putting out singles for a couple years now because A. it's the nature of the biz these days and B. because putting them out one at a time is the only way he'll ever be done with a track lol. he only graduated from vassar because it was really super-important to his mom, and he's a mama's boy until he dies. but he definitely related to the crisis of wanting to pursue passion over a degree, and he would have supported her through it as best he could even if it was just listening to her. and if you gave her some small acting credits early-on it could play into the whole star is born thing, which he would be super proud of her for (and obsessed with!) because it seems like it would be such a huge full-circle dream.
