Guitarist, songwriter, and frontwoman of Covet, Yvette Young, is known for her intricate tapping technique, genre-bending sound, that creates a calm presence. But in a new interview, the math rock star surprised fans by revealing she used to hate music and nearly walked away from it entirely.
The Pressure of Modern Touring
Young explained that the grind of constant touring had left her physically and mentally exhausted. What started as a passion for storytelling and expression had turned into a cycle of anxiety, creative blocks, and intense pressure to constantly be on the road.
“I wasn’t eating, I wasn’t sleeping,” she admitted. “It became a job I hated… even though it was the thing I loved most growing up.”
Young’s transparency reflects a growing sentiment in the music industry that touring at full speed isn’t sustainable, especially for artists who double as their own managers, marketers, and creative teams.
Despite her immense talent, Young said she began associating music with obligation, a chore instead of joy. Rather than writing what she loved, she was writing what she thought people wanted to hear.
“I had nothing left to give,” she confessed. “It didn’t feel like mine anymore.”
Breaking the Cycle
In 2024, Young decided to take a big step back from touring, invest in therapy, and rediscover her creative identity on her own clock. She returned to painting, journaling, and composing songs without any expectation of release.
And it worked.
“I fell in love with sound again,” she smiled. “I play now because I want to. Not because I have to.”
Yvette Young’s story isn’t just a peek into the struggles behind the stage, It's a powerful reminder that art should heal, not harm. She’s become a quiet advocate for mental health in music, urging fans and fellow creatives alike to slow down before they burn out.
Yvette’s honesty about hating music and learning to love it again, shows hidden truths of often-overlooked reality: success doesn’t shield artists from struggle. In a world that demands constant content, her message is clear and timely:
“You don’t owe the world constant output. You owe yourself peace.”
