RL Huggar, Musician, Music Producer, & Full time Dad, discusses battling with self-esteem challenges growing up and how that influenced his need to constantly prove. Today, RL is becoming the example he wants for his daughter, whom he also sees as creative, by learning and practicing more self-awareness and self-acceptance. Though RL admits he still walks around with a chip on his shoulder sometimes, when he connects with God, he is able to let the petty things go and focus on the togetherness that 2020 quarantine has inadvertently taught him—faith, family, and focusing on his love for music.
