I just want to keep doing what I feel.

I grew up with the Blind Boys' music. My family owns a music store in Claremont, California, called The Claremont Folk Music Center. I grew up with a heavy diet of gospel, folk, and blues because those are kind of the cornerstones of traditional American music.

Could've sworn I heard you say Amen this morning, showing some kind of sign that you believe. Did it fall from your tongue without warning? Or just another trick to fall from your sleeve?

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

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.

If I'm inspired and music inspires me, then I will continue to play it.

There's only one proper way a song should go, but you've got to be patient enough to let them come together time wise. Sometimes it's lightning in a bottle and you got the song. But oftentimes it shows up.
