I don't know that I can say what exactly love means to me because it would be hard to put that into perspective.

Trying to put music out there in the world is a pretty exciting, yet terrifying, thing and I've just been through the ringer.

You got to head north. It's always about going north, you know?

I've had the same core group of friends that I've always had. We're surfing, so that definitely keeps you grounded.

I never wanted to do music to get girls, right, to get popular, or anything like that. I really love music and I want to make it better the best I can. I can tell when something's real, or when something's put together. I can just feel it. So I'm my own worst critic and harshest critic and I just want to put honest music out there.

I've been through a lot of ups and downs. I've been on both sides of it all, I guess. So there's not one specific event or thought that I'm dealing with or drawing from necessarily.

I just find that I enjoy the music that feels like there's a journey to the top of this mountain, then you're at the top of the mountain finally with this magical feeling, and you're stoked because you made it, and you're up there, but there's a little bit of sadness to think of all that you lost along the way to get there. I guess I relate and enjoy the path and the struggle very much.
