We've all experienced self-doubt when it comes to the pursuit of goals, whether they are creative, personal or professional. The music industry is notorious for the grind and determination it requires to achieve success, and NamedTobias. has made an anthem for those moments with his latest offering, "The Risk."

"This song was produced by myself during a time where I was on my own in a new city (Vancouver) and environment," shares NamedTobias. of the song's inception. "I felt the need to create something that would give myself motivation to keep going." He also shares that the song was actually recorded on a different beat but when he felt the beat didn't really fit the vibe of the story, he decided to create something else to better match the lyrics.

The track also features Vancouver's Tyler Skyy on the second verse sharing his own thoughts on how important "The Risk" is. "He's one of the people I was able to get a great amount of work done with while I was in Vancouver for two years," says NamedTobias. of his friend and collaborator. "This record speaks on the faith needed to go after anything you want in life, but more importantly, we are both speaking from a place of music and the grind and risks that come with it."

NamedTobias. will be releasing his debut project, currently titled The Fall Forward, later this year with plans to release a few more singles and videos that are separate to the project until then. Check out "The Risk" video above as well as on Spotify or iTunes
