How Avicii Inspired CHYL To Leave Finance For A Full-Time Career In Music | Behind The Board
After realizing her career in finance wasn't fulfilling, CHYL decided to take up music production casually — until Avicii's unexpected passing taught her one important lesson: life is too short not to pursue your passion. "If you don't, who knows what's going to happen?" she reveals in this episode of Behind The Board.
CHYL also details her production process, and the "constant battle" she faces when making a new song. For more episodes of Behind The Board, visit GRAMMY.com/videos.
