Music is the first thing I ever cared greatly about. I've been singing and writing songs since I was six or seven.

My first ever tour of my music was in the Netherlands. I didn't really have a grace period to grow or anything, people just started booking for me. I feel pretty lucky.

I feel really good about the future and working with people.

I learned how to be more theatrical and have more fun, and to take a song and sing it over and over again in different ways, and make it different each time. I'm not just singing the song - it's this thing that's affecting me.

There's a lot of expectation after you do something that seems to have been well received. It's kind of unfair.

I enjoy singing the songs a certain way, but I don't even know how the writing even began. To me, it's work that is kind of invisible; it's a weird kind of work to have because you're not working, but it's not not work. Formulating your thoughts and making a melody that's catchy enough for people to listen to what you're saying is really hard!

My family life, my adoption - it could be related to the songs, but I think the songs are deeper than that. They're not just about this experience.
