Even after arriving in Nashville, these insecurities persisted for Brandy Clark. She observed, speaking softly, “The music business or any kind of entertainment business will instill those kinds of insecurities in you.” She went on to express that she felt that’s just how the industry operates.

Clark further delved into the details of these insecurities in the Grammy-nominated music video of Dear Insecurity, a compelling collaboration with the equally incredible Brandi Carlile.

According to her, the only way to combat insecurity is to learn to coexist with it.
