Waller explains, "As I’m focusing on putting my album together, I definitely didn’t want to let these 4 tracks go to waste. Recording outside in my backyard this spring and summer has helped me tap into all the different characters that make up who I am as an artist.

This week, Waller appeared on the Amazon Music original podcast "Bars and Nuggets", where he shared his unexpected journey from the NFL to the music world. He opened up about his struggles with falling out of love with football, battling substance abuse, navigating a short-lived marriage, his Pro Bowl career, and his lifelong passion for music.
