In a recent interview on The Brandon Gonez Show, Canadian artist Roy Woods opened up about the challenges he has faced in his music career, revealing that he nearly quit the industry. Woods discussed the intense pressures and the mental health struggles that almost led him to walk away from music altogether. He emphasized the need for more substantial support systems for artists, pointing out that the emotional and professional demands can be overwhelming.
Additionally, Woods shared his thoughts on the city’s relationship with one of its most successful exports, Drake. He expressed the view that Toronto could do more to support Drake, who has played a pivotal role in putting the city on the global music map. Woods suggested that both the local community and institutions could amplify their recognition and support for Drake’s contributions, not just for his benefit but also to inspire upcoming artists. This support, he implied, could create a more nurturing environment for artists emerging from Toronto, ensuring the city’s vibrant music scene continues to thrive.
