Cory Wong has channeled the anxieties of many an artist in his new music video for “Today I’m Gonna Get Myself A Real Job.”

“There’s a certain mountain that we as artists need to climb to realize and fight our way over to discover that if this really is our true calling, and really what we are meant to do…then we need to just do it,” said the Vulfpeck guitarist, who also makes his singing debut on this tune. “I’ve known since I was twelve years old that I was meant to be a musician. I had the passion. I had the drive. I knew that I might not ever be the best guitar player out there, and I know that right now I’m not the best guitar player in the world….but I’m the best ME out there. And my biggest realization as an artist is that there’s no room for competition or ego against other people if you’re just trying to be the best YOU. Once I started to discover my own voice and sound as an artist, there was so much baggage and ego that was left to die on the other side of the hill.”

Wong has also scheduled a batch of U.S. and international tour dates through the fall and winter.
