Mike Ragogna: Musically speaking, what advice do you have for new artists?

Chris Valen: Find a way to keep connected with your art, to keep challenging yourself and growing artistically, to keep looking in the mirror and smiling, to keep love in your heart and to keep hanging in there. Everything else will follow, and if it doesn’t, well, you could have done a lot worse.
