Sometimes things just happen in the moment.

Songwriting is actually a really great outlet. I kind of recommend it. You get to sum up whatever is going on in your life in a song, then perform it really passionately.

I really do love bluesy-jazzy music, so I love Etta James, B.B. King and Billie Holiday. I love that they have soul in their voices - I think that's something important is having.

When things get tough, you should seek out someone like a coach or friend or family member to talk things through with.

I want to make music that stands the test of time.

I want people to be able to relate to the music, to enjoy the music, in a sense of it being fun and interesting and maybe kind of quirky. I want people to be impacted by the story.

People need to realize bullying has just as much of an impact online because words are so cutting and difficult to deal with.
