Happy 18th birthday to the Feed Me To The Wolves EP, released on this day in 2007 alongside the music video, which premiered on Logo TV and turned me into a cable TV gay for the next 5 years.

Forever grateful to MTV for believing in me back then! The video played across all of their channels for the better part of a year and it absolutely changed my entire life.

Happy 44th birthday to MTV!

I am so lucky to have been in artist development at the network right as Logo TV was launching. It meant that I got to host TV shows (plural) on cable!

It was a completely bonkers time in my life and I will always be grateful to MTV executives like Perry Turcotte back then who championed me into a reality where my vision and my songs found their way into over 26 million homes each week. This lasted for years and it was hard to comprehend the scale or impact at the time but I get it now. It has been 20 years and I’m very clear that I am still here, largely because of that.

I’m an industry plant, baby!
