Carter Vail on Dirt Man, Going Viral, Songwriting, Social Media & Creative Success
2:26
Before the career, before the internet, before you started in this line of work, tell us what were you like as a kid? Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative field?
C
2:36Carter VailGUEST
I don't know if I knew that a c- creative field was, like, possible necessarily.
C
2:45Carter VailGUEST
I, uh, as a kid, I, I was like a, a, a very, like, goofy, fun kid and I, I kinda ...
C
2:54Carter VailGUEST
Since I was a kid, I liked making these, like, funny songs, 'cause I've been playing instruments my whole life.
C
2:59Carter VailGUEST
Um, but the, the idea of being like, "Oh, and that's what I'll do when I grow up," I w- I, I didn't have that until...
C
3:07Carter VailGUEST
I didn't really have the idea that this could be, like, a real job until it became a job.
7:06
How did you find the confidence and the courage to say, "Okay, I'm gonna leave this path that's basically a sure thing to pursue what interests me most"?

Carter VailGUEST
Uh, with YouTube I've been doing, uh, more of the, like long form music videos for my serious records.
Carter VailGUEST
One of the things that I really like to do is educational content for, uh, how to make music, 'cause I think that, you know, there's a bit of a, uh, like a black box when it comes to how stuff actually gets made, so anytime there's a, a window into that of how things are actually created, I find it really interesting.
Carter VailGUEST
I feel like there's a lot of mystery involved in the, uh, fitness world, and anything that sheds more light on it is a good thing.
