For Canadian rap artist Dax, his latest hit 'Dear Alcohol' started as a poem. It reflected his drinking habits once he moved to LA to become a full time music artist. With three or four boozy music events every night, the booze also became a full time habit. Using alcohol as a confidence tool on his first tour, the alcohol started to consume Dax's life.
'I just found myself being more social, and more confident. So then it became a thing where it was almost like I wish I could be this super confident all the time. So I just felt like I was chasing him and trying to like bridge the gap between this super confident person when he's drunk and my normal...shy self.'
And then the pandemic hits. Alone at home, Dax has time to reflect on his drinking habits. And 'Dear Alcohol' was born. To listen to Dax's self-aware song about moderation, click the link here.
