RYAN: Yeah, and I really enjoy performing it with other
musicians. For me, my greatest accomplishment is hearing
other people play my songs.

RYAN: It can be. I have been able to make some money from
writing music but I can’t make a living from it yet.
MACY: It sounds like you’ve accomplished a lot already.
