I’ve been singing since I was born. It’s something I do everywhere I go. In the shower, walking down the street. I don’t need any impetus to do it. I just sing.

I try to be very autobiographical in my writing. I find that I get the best response to my music when I’ve been specific about my own life. If I try to skirt around issues and get too poetic, it gets too abstract and people can’t relate. I try to be truthful about my life. I don’t feel that I’m necessarily some incredibly profound songwriter, but I do have a voice that can be powerful and can make people feel something. I am not trying to impress people with esoteric language and ideas, I want to relate to them and their humanity and speak to someplace inside them. I struggle with my own spirituality in my life. I question my own beliefs and that comes across lyrically. I also sing about my personality flaws such as being an unopinionated person or a waiverer.
