It's kind of cool that given the way I was raised, I managed to work on my craft of music and being a guitar player. The only time I don't play is if I'm locked up.
Dylan Wilson, better known as King Lazy Eye, has a story that reads like a rock song—filled with highs, lows, and everything in between. Growing up in small-town Tennessee under the care of his grandparents, Dylan excelled in school but struggled with family dynamics that eventually led him down a dark path.
He picked up a guitar and taught himself to play by jamming to Weezer and Blink-182 songs, but it wasn't long before meth became his drug of choice, bringing legal troubles and the heartbreaking loss of custody of his son. Now clean for over 18 months, Dylan reflects on his journey through addiction, the legal system, and the fires of meth labs.
His candid conversation reveals how taking accountability has not only helped him stay sober but also propelled him to greater success as an artist. You'll hear about his songwriting process, his accidental rise as a content creator, and how surrendering to his circumstances led to unexpected triumphs. If you're looking for a raw and real tale of redemption, Dylan's story is one you won't want to miss.
