Quotes
"I need someone who will wear onesies, eat fajitas and watches Fresh Prince".
"Music is a powerful tool in galvanizing people around an issue. There's no better way to get your point across than to put it in a beautiful song."
"Be original! don't be scared of being bold!"
"As far as songwriting, my inspirations came from love, life and death, and viewing other people's situations."
"But once you've made a song and you put it out there, you don't own it anymore. The public own it. It's their song. It might be their song that they wake up to, or their song they have a shower to, or their song that they drive home to or their song they cry to, scream to, have babies to, have weddings to - like, it isn't your song anymore."
"I write songs based on life experience. I write for myself and my music is raw and straight from the heart. Whenever I've written a sad song it's come from a painful experience that comes from a real place and usually I'll start writing within a few hours of that moment. All my music is deeply personal and I think it's good when you can just be yourself and not worry about what other people think."
"The main thing that you have to remember on this journey is, just be nice to everyone and always smile."
