Again, that links back to the blessed trend. I think sometimes we’re afraid to talk about how the world is not always like that. I think the world, especially with social media, we try to smile and laugh. There’s a lot of people who don’t even have the opportunity to do this. Going off of that, you’re a very positive person, but do you think maybe we portray the world more pure than it is?
A lot of bad things happen to really good people. I don’t really have an opinion on everything happens for a reason. There are so many people getting sick and dying. Back to the coronavirus, it’s hard to picture the good that comes with that. It would be beautiful if things happen for a reason, but I’m not sure because a lot of bad things happen to good people. I’m a firm believer in whatever happens, happens for a reason and whatever happens, it’s nice to try and take the positive from the situation. When I was younger, I would worry about that stuff all the time. I will take all of these precautions, but I can’t worry about what if I get it. People say it’s supposed to be similar to the flu, but there’s no vaccine for it. If Coachella cancels, it’s going to be really bad for festival season. Do you think it’s going to be a domino effect of cancellations? Do you think they would cancel Coachella? Now there’s everything with coronavirus, too. I have a show at the end of the month in San Francisco and all proceeds are going towards the fires in Australia. I don’t think it’s about gifting a lot of money, but I also do that. A simple smile to someone whose obviously having a bad day can go a long way.
Anyone can boost someones mood by kind gestures. Yes, but I think it all starts with small gestures. Going off of that, do you work heavily with any organizations or charities that anchor their roots in mental health? Staying vibrant is keeping up with the positive mindset while balancing the ups and downs of life. It’s not about positive vibes only because I don’t believe in that. That’s the mentality with the vibrant trend. I believe I am a very positive person in general, but I’m also not denying that life is rough sometimes. If I was at a 100% happiness level, I acknowledge that it’s easy to get disappointed.Įxactly. Being content is perfect because there’s room for negative and positive changes. I feel like the blessed concept is somewhat similar to a measurement tool that I use for mindfulness.
Like 80% is really high and people forget that, so 100% is crazy. When someone is 100% blessed, that means their day couldn’t get better. What would a 100% blessed day look like then so people can get an idea?ġ00% blessed is very rare. You start this trend and you get better with it over time. I know, it’s crazy… I am 78% blessed today, but it will go up soon! So, how do you measure how blessed you’re feeling? Photo via San Holo FB You have started the blessed trend. This isn’t an introduction this is a “It’s nice to see you, again” with a gentle, whole-hearted friend. Besides composing and executing beautifully laced melodics, he offers a cornucopia of wisdom and a perspective on life that everyone should adopt. That isn’t merely a front either while observing him and how he interacts with crew and fans, it’s genuine. With San, it was easy… whimsical… absurd, but only in the sense that it feels like I’ve known him forever. Writer to reader… I have interviewed a plenitude of artists and finding that connection can be as hard as finding a needle in a haystack. We are filled to the top with pure elation, as we were able to sit down with the Dutch producer once again and get the 4-1-1 on life, music, and the blessed trend. A couple years back, we sat down with San Holo, the man behind ‘ Light‘ and ‘ We Rise‘.
