I'm not afraid to be bluntly honest in my songs, even if it means I'm discovering things about myself that I'd rather not.

I can relate to soul, R&B... whatever people want to call me is fine. I just hope it makes them feel something.

There's not a whole lot of media interest in me other than just the records that I make.

Genre, to me, is not all that important, and it never has been.

I don't know anyone who is a writer who isn't influenced by the relationships in their life.

My favorite time in music is probably 1970-75. Still Bill by Bill Withers, Harvest by Neil Young, John Prine's first album, James Taylor's One Man Dog-I hope I can bring the same sort of spirit I hear on those records.

People love music, they're always going to love music, it's our job to consistently push ourselves as artists to keep delivering stuff for people to stay engaged with.
