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

I like down-to-earth people.

Nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world.

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

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.

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.

I love when people are coming up and they're working hard and you can see that they're really focused on the process to their music. I really dig that. As a musician, it's nice to see people who really care about the process.
