Love this, Alec. I don't think anyone who actually knows you has questioned your artist identity even when you were at the height of 'businessman' identity. Whatever is authentic to someone's core being will ultimately show itself whether you intend to or not.
I always knew you were talented. Even though I was in some of those business classes with you—you were multi-dimensional. I mean, I’m pretty sure you won our PE class race walking tourney did you not??? (I should know. I expected to be the winner.) But here you are going after what you actually love and want to be identified with. Happy Birthday my brilliant friend.
Warning: when your kids reach a certain age (soon) and the other identity you put on of "dad" fades away a little, this kind of awareness will serve you well.
Damn bro. Yes. Keep going. Love you-

Happy birthday, Alec! It was great connecting with you, and I’m telling my LA friends about your show!
It sounds like you gave yourself your own birthday present. Proud of the man you are and the strength to make your own way in life!
OF COURSE, you’re an artist, Alec! That was obscenely clear from the moment I met you in a Zoom breakout room.
How long did it take to come up with the Harry Potter rap?! I loved it.
Well sir, you're ahead of the curve in my book.

God's speed on your journey
