I just recently got onto Lean, and I'm super disappointed that I didn't find him sooner. He's an unbelievably enlightened dude, and he is profoundly aware of his place in the world and that speaks volume as to his success in the industry. There's so much to be gleaned from this conversation. Also, seeing music in colors is called synesthesia. Skrillex has it as well.

ABREVIATED TRANSCRIPTS OF INAUDIBLE AUDIENCE QUESTIONS 15:05 - Is the creative process different making music for Yung Lean projects opposed to Jonatan Leandoer? 15:52 - What equipment did you have when you made Ginseng Strip? (the audience member also mentions the fact they are an aspiring rapper but doesnt own a computer which Lean innocently jokes about within his response) 17:40 - *unsure* possibly asking about something related to a show/live performance. 18:03 - What are your thoughts on success & reach for Swedish music artists, and how did you become noticed? 20:26 - How did you deal with the hate you received in the early years? 20:49 - *unsure* 22:17 - What was your influence to move to Miami & how did the experiences you have while there affect the music made for Warlord? 22:22 - Has your approch to lyricism changed over the years? Is it something you put time into with consideration or is it more spontanious? 24:10 - Have yourself or you guys (sadboys, drain gang, gravity boys, shield gang) changed your additudes since 2014? (as an example for the question, the audience member tells a story about the group being fun loving & mischievous with a loaf of bread when they were last in Dublin). 25:03 - Have you ever had an ordinary job besides making music? 26:16 - When you are in public do you prefer to be addressed by a fan as Jonatan or Yung Lean? 26:53 - Does drug use affect your creative process negatively or positivly? 28:04 - *unsure* asking something about Yung Sherman not being as active. 28:42 - Have you suffered from writers block and how did you overcome it? 29:30 - *unsure* asking something about mixing different genres of music together as one. 30:55 - Do you ever feel pressured that your not making the music the fans want to hear? 32:35 - *unsure* When will you play a show in Dublin? 33:00 - Can you explain your roman type tattoo on your neck? (I was not involved in this Q&A or apart of the audience, but as a viewer and fan of yung lean im just trying to provide a better experience for those who are struggling to understand the questions being asked to Lean, I will do my best to transcribe what I hear - but if I get something wrong or cant make sense of a question that has been labeled with *unsure* and you belive that you know what was said, please reply to this comment and I will update the timestamp, thank you!)

[@samueldarling6783]

Never has an artist been so humble to share his mind with other aspiring minds. The fact that he’s constantly evolving and nerding out on music says a lot about his love of life.

"If you wanna get into any business, you have to be a nerd in that business." Unexpected teaching by Yung Lean. True tho.

[@DrDoinks]

*“I think the emotion and how you say it is more important than the words”* This makes a lot of sense and why I enjoy Yung leans music so much. I wouldn’t call him a star lyricist or singer, but it’s the fact that his lyrics feel so genuine and have emotion behind them. You can really feel it thru the songs and it’s what evokes emotion when I listen to a lot his tracks, it’s so unique
