Saddened to hear the news of passing today 💔

I first met Seth backstage at in 2018 where he approached me for a photo because he thought my spikey hair was cool. In that interaction, he was kind, energetic & enthusiastic.

In 2021 I had the pleasure of interviewing him at & it was a wild interview & very cool to have him on my show because it’s undeniable that his song, “Butterfly” is iconic & will live on for a very long time 🦋

Rest in power, Seth 🌟
