It's cool to be healthy now! It's cool to, like, drink fresh juices and drink Kombucha and all that stuff.

The ocean inspires me because there's the energy of the water moving.

I have ideas for songs all the time, but musical ideas, like melodies, really come out when I'm in nature.

I want to live the way I choose. It's all about happiness. I'm a happy person. But to find true happiness, peace within yourself and the world, that is something achieved in the moment. No matter the circumstance.

What I strive to do with songwriting is be really honest, authentic and try to be open and share that with people. I choose that over trying to be clever, poetic, or lyrical.

I wanted to be a singer. I wanted to be a musician. I wanted to travel and write songs and be a good songwriter. It came to me slowly after college.

I think the two biggest issues are world hunger and health, and all the things that stem from bad food.
