## Resource

Independent artist AL sits down to talk about his new single "CUMMON" and the music video that came with it — including the chaotic, unauthorized shoot in an Indianapolis hotel with a crew of 11 dancers. He opens up about growing up on a farm in a small town where country music was the only thing allowed, finding refuge in Madonna and Freddie Mercury, and the backlash he faced after a controversial short film. AL also shares his plans to relocate to Chicago for school, his hopes of eventually landing in New York, and his five-year vision of touring and headlining on his own terms.
