I come from a place of sincerity. I write about what I see and feel. I write about what I want, I don't have a political agenda. Politics may enter into a song but it always comes from the heart.

Paul Simon is my absolute hero. He's one of a kind. He wrote his own ticket in life by being himself.

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

Everyone wants to know what kind of music their favorite artist listens to. It feels good to. I don't try to dwell on that too much though.

Follow your heart and you won't get lost.

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

I sing the best when I'm really in my voice. It's kind of like I'm meditating but I sort of imagine my voice as a physical thing. I see colours, I feel it moving out of me and I try to tap into images that I was tapping into when I was writing the song.
