Mitch Jones explains why he stopped producing music

Nick had begun his daily broadcast and was joined by one of his close friends Mitch Jones. After raising close to $133k during the charity stream dedicated towards Ukrainian refugees, the One True King member returned to do his regular streams.

As both the streamers spoke about various topics, Mitch was seen talking about his music career and how it came to a stop after The Streamer Awards. Speaking more in-depth about the subject, Mitch said:

"Alright dude, so, I embarrassed myself at The Streamer Awards."

Mentioning how he is now done with making music following the technical difficulties he faced during the award function, Nick burst out laughing. Mitch further said:

"It is what it is, dude."

Nick, meanwhile, could not contain his laughter after hearing how Mitch quit making music. Providing his take on the subject, Nick said:

"Yeah, I’m going to be honest and this is just the truth and I don’t want you to feel bad, but as soon as your mic snapped, I muted the stream and looked away because I didn’t want to suffer second-hand embarrassment."

Mitch then continued to speak more about the aftermath of his performance by mentioning that:

"Dude! I literally, okay, afterwards, I go down to the f***ing green room and I am getting a million texts like RIP bro, damn that sucks and I am just sitting there and I got so drunk! I sat there in the green room and just pounded whiskey alone because of how sad I was."

He continued:

"And then I was like, alright, I'll make this legit right now to never perform music again. I was built to be a streamer and a World of Warcraft player and I tried something new and that's okay, but I failed. You know, sometimes you got to pick yourself up and try again, but don’t beat the same horse that is not moving."

When Nick spoke about Maya, Mitch said that he couldn't sing, unlike Maya. He also spoke about how he had reached a stage where he was regularly getting 100,000 active viewers, despite his inability to sing. He revealed that all he could do was create music.

Soon enough, the conversation regarding the streamer's music and his performances came to an end. Nick streamed for the next four more hours where he was seen cooking with his partner Malena and Mitch.
