Nature inspires me because it's so peaceful. It makes me have an inward experience. It makes me reflective and nostalgic.

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.

A sunny, happy day is beautiful, but when it's moody, and storm is coming, there's an energy in the air.

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

I think food is the great equalizer. Other than the ocean and the air, food is the thing that we all share in common. I think along with that comes the question of why are some people starving, and why do some people produce more food than they need, and why is food going to waste.

I think everybody, no matter what they eat, they should eat at least fifty percent raw food. But I eat some seafood.

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.
