before turning his life around through music -- recently helped open a music studio inside the Nashville Juvenile Detention Center.
Jelly Roll -- who spend time in the same Nashville Juvenile Detention Center -- performed at the opening event, alongside fellow artist and Nashville native ERNEST, to a crowd made up of incarcerated youth, as well as other members of the music community who are working with the organization. "I think at some point in life, everything in life has let me down. But music was always my constant," he shared."Like, when I had nothing else, I had a boombox. When I was incarcerated, I had a set of headphones and a little radio."-- from addiction and life on the streets as a thief to time behind bars -- and it's not something he's shied away from. He buries his emotions in his music.
"I'm constantly writing songs to show people that it's okay to be a work in progress. It's okay to still meet yourself in the middle," Jelly Roll said of his approach to songwriting."But I also wanted to make sure this time that I added the hopefulness to it and the tempo. I had some tempo changes. I wanted to be more uplifting, more major keys."
