Many have described me as a &#8216;jack of all trades,&#8217; and I guess I would too. Having multiple skills and talents in a world of side hustles and late stage capitalism can feel overwhelming when you&#8217;re already a full time artist. I started painting as a child before I even picked up the guitar. Although music engulfed my life, painting was always my first love. <em>But I\u2019m a Painter<\/em> begins with me disillusioned after a rocky descent into the music industry, desperately trying to find a creative outlet that didn\u2019t feel immediately exploited. Rediscovering my love of painting helped me get in touch with my inner child and granted me catharsis at times when music and writing weren&#8217;t enough. <em>But I\u2019m a Painter<\/em> chronicles my paintings and the stories behind them. It&#8217;s an insight into the mind of an artist who\u2019s scrapbooking their life via a paintbrush.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"AdWrapper-fEXqQS krBdZf ad ad--in-content\">\n<div class=\"ad__slot ad__slot--in-content\" data-node-id=\"tsazuo\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In March, Shamir covered Sharon Van Etten\u2019s \u201cDsharpg\u201d as part of her 10th anniversary double album <em>epic Ten.<\/em> In January, he shared the video for \u201cDiet,\u201d from his 2020 self-titled LP.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read Pitchfork\u2019s \u201cLongform\u201d feature \u201cWhat It\u2019s Like to Be Black in Indie Music.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"BaseWrap-sc-TwdDQ InstagramEmbedContainer-XYFXs eXYKST fLgkIE\">\n<div class=\"MessageBannerWrapper-fxjTNs bdroYJ ConsentBannerWrapper-fjFHHh iYsVsD\" data-testid=\"message-banner\">\n<div class=\"BaseWrap-sc-TwdDQ BaseText-fFHxRE MessageBannerContent-gbqKAm hlNbBe jtPfyH jsjFxf\">\n<h4 class=\"ConsentBannerTitle-gRLylC dHxjBF\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Instagram_content\"><\/span>Instagram content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CSFYbEPB-QP\" class=\"BaseWrap-sc-TwdDQ BaseText-fFHxRE BaseLink-gZIuAp ConsentBannerLink-golDHu hlNbBe jtPfyH gVANFm\">View on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"CneVideoEmbedFigure-bJQVjw fxssYA cne-video-embed\">\n<div class=\"AspectRatioWrapper-fELfkO kpMLur\">\n<div class=\"PersistentContainer-cAcXwy fuePZF\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
