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

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.

I'm a very typical yoga-practicing musician; I do it when I can. I'm not hardcore about it. A lot of my lyrics talk about celebrating life and working through pain. I think that's what yoga's about, getting rid of, moving energy and letting it flow through you.

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

Nothing has happened too fast, nothing has happened too slow. It has been a mellow rise, and I'm thankful for that. I haven't lost my head, and I haven't lost my desire to keep growing.

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