Tell me about “Waste of Space” what’s the story behind it?
G Flip: "Waste Of Space" is the story about me struggling with understanding my gender identity at a young age.
The video feels so different, how did it come together?
G Flip: The song is very raw and emotional. It speaks about my gender identity. My creative director is also nonbinary so they were very connected to the song as well. We wanted to make the most authentic piece of art to represent the song and the nonbinary community so we came up with a simple concept of using nonbinary people who have gone through similar journeys to tell the story of "Waste Of Space."
What has been the biggest challenge for you in music?
G Flip: Being a perfectionist. I'm very hard on myself.
What is the best advice you’ve been given?
