Machinegeweer Kelly opened his struggles as he spoke in the Grammy Museum and called himself a representative of the broken.
The 35 -year -old singer, whose real name is Colson Baker, explained that fans related to honesty and vulnerability than to people who always appear in control.
He admitted that he felt broken for most of his life, although he was working on rebuilding himself. Those feelings, he said, formed his music.
Sometimes he feared that if he healed completely, he could lose the creative spark that came out of pain.
“Sometimes I get a little too scared when the pieces come together again,” he said, explained that much of his strongest work came from torment.
The Bad things Hitmaker also revealed that he started journaling during a rehabilitation stay last Christmas.
A fan gave him a red notebook that he filled with thoughts during sleepless nights.
Writing, MGK said, gave him an outlet to release emotions and helped him to free up his mind.
He shared that he used writing as a way to manifest his goals because he would write down his ambitions and burn the pages on a new moon, in the conviction that the ritual helped him concentrate.
The music icon, who rather broke things up with his ex-partner Megan Fox, tried it a few years ago for the Grammies.
Although the outcome was not what he expected, the At home Singer said that the practice kept him centered and honest about what he wanted in life.
Moreover, fans saw a side of him who was both vulnerable and determined.
