I want to explore and do things with excellence. I want to write songs that resonate with me and will resonate with a live audience. I'm exploring fresh sounds.

All I'm doing is being authentic and real and singing about the emotions I go through as a human being.

I didn't have to fit into a mold. You make the mold. People can smell a rat. If you're doing thing for marketing and for a record label, you're going to set yourself up to be called a phony. As long as it's true to you, you do it.

If you make great music, you can become a mold breaker or a trailblazer. It's a little scary to do that because you can't always see what's in front of you, but you're clearing out a path for people behind you to follow.

Building my career hasn't been attached to my dad. It's been me figuring things out for myself.

If you want to do it, you can do it.

I just want Christians to embrace the fact that music is made not just for the church, but it's also for the people that need to hear about the love of God.
