Jackson Guthy's aspirations go beyond getting some recognition for a song or two, even if they're successful — he wants more than that. "My goal in life isn't necessarily to have a song called 'Young and Single,' and have that just be my thing, be that 'Young and Single' kid," he revealed in an interview with Last.fm. In other words, he doesn't want to be known for one pop hit that he wrote when he was, you know, young and single. That's fair, Jack! Life is long!
Instead, Guthy hopes to stay the course, even if that means progressing at a slow and steady pace. "I want to get my name out there, and I want to be able to play the music that I really love so that I don't make it and then be done when I'm 30," he continued. "I want to make it later if that has to happen, and then be playing when I'm 70." It's impressive that he's already thinking about the long game, instead of getting swept up in the moment as is so common in youth.
