93//Very Chalant (With Brendan Abernathy)

This week, Mickey sits down with Brendan Abernathy, a talented singer-songwriter who, earlier this year, found himself at the center of a viral online hate train. After a performance clip of his song “Married In A Year” went viral, Brendan quickly discovered that much of the feedback wasn’t positive. Thirty-three million views later—after countless rude comments, harassment, and even threats—the pair discusses what it feels like to be on the receiving end of an overwhelming wave of internet hate, its effects on mental health and creativity, the reactions and opinions of those around you, and how to keep moving forward. Mickey and Brendan also dive into the release of his new album The Kid Who Got It All Wrong. Brendan opens up about his creative process, how much of his music is autobiographical, how he draws inspiration from others' experiences, his upcoming series of EPs (which will be recorded in various national parks), performing over 700 live shows, and so much more! ‘The Kid Who Got It All Wrong’ is out now, on all streaming platforms!
