“People in the music industry give me blank stares when I brush off 8 million dollar offers. I don't want 6 tour buses, 15 tractor trailers and a jet. I don't want to play stadium shows, I don't want to be in the spotlight,” Anthony posted to Facebook. “I wrote the music I wrote because I was suffering with mental health and depression.

These songs have connected with millions of people on such a deep level because they're being sung by someone feeling the words in the very moment they were being sung.”
