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

Look, one of the things that I know for sure is that none of us truly knows. That's it. It'll hit you later.

You don't put out music unless you have a sense that people will maybe like what you're doing or you're standing for something artistically.

I'm my own worst critic and harshest critic and I just want to put honest music out there.

I was in a hardcore band that had no melody, no chance of finding any success, and I was just trying to figure out what the hell I was going to do with my life. And that came out and changed my life forever - on an artistic level, and a lyrical level, for sure.

Never let your fear decide your fate.

There's a lot of different things, but I think love gives us peace one way or another, and a calming effect on our soul, so I don't know exactly what love is to me, but I know I try my best to surround myself with that. Whenever I can. It's hard sometimes.
