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.

It's usually kids that normally don't have a chance to get to meet each other because they're separated by millions of different things.

I don't wanna limit myself to anything, but I eat like a vegetarian and I eat mostly raw.

I always liked playing music and I always wanted to be good at playing guitar. I always saw myself as an old man living in the mountains playing a guitar, but I didn't really turn that into a desire to be a professional musician or a singer or a rock star or anything like that.

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.

Follow your heart and you won't get lost.

The mountains inspire me because they are just still and they have such a strong, quiet presence that feels very old.
