I know musicians who think that drumming and guitaring can be very meditative, but singing is different because when you think about things, you put words to them. So I try to just stay present most of the time, I try not to let my mind wander and I also try not to clear my mind. I like to still have thought and be aware of people and whatever that's happening, but I also like to just focus on the words that I'm saying.

Pain is a part of life. It's certainly part of my creative process.

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

People really respond to the songs when I play them in concert. Every song comes from a different place emotionally or from a different headspace.

Blessed is this life, I'm gonna celebrate being alive.

Bringing up issues that are hard to deal with is a challenge for me, and I think that's what draws me to song writing.

Don't forget that love is all you came here for, not anything less. Need I say more?
