The advice I have for new artists is this - write great songs and play them live as often as possible. Get residencies all over town and crush it.

I can't not put myself in the shoes of every person I pass.

You're living life in real time, man, and we' ve got a good amount of work to do for each other. Hiding is not an option and you're going to step out and you're going to make mistakes.

The spirit is what guides my life, and I'm humbly on my knees in thanks for guidance and direction every day. But God is not something to be preached, it's something to be lived.

I appreciate that something I've done has found a safe place to land.

I want to try to not be the child that had to go through too much too young. I want to be who I am now and not who I was then.

You can't just say 'I love you,' you have to live 'I love you.'
