She said:
“I needed to take a step back to put myself first and stop pushing myself so hard. The music industry is a lot, the entertainment industry as a whole is a lot of work, so I needed to refocus, realign and decide what it is that I want for myself and remind myself why I love making music so much.
"I love to make music and I'm really passionate about it but I don't necessarily like the industry, the fame, hype and all of that, so I needed to remind myself why I love what I love.”
The Masked Singer SA winner also mentioned that taking this break helped her value and see that family is the most important thing and also the people who value you.
"I just wanted to be in the industry making music and doing every event. I never took time to spend quality time with my family. That's the biggest lesson," Holly said.
