Hawaiian music is beautiful and simple.

What I'm hoping is that every album I'm going to do will give my audience something different, and that they'll grow as I do.

I've had big record label presidents look me in the face and say, 'Your music sucks, you don't know who you are, your music is all over the place, and we don't know how to market this stuff. Pick a lane and come back to us.'

Songwriters, you have to work - you have to wait for residuals. You have to pray that the song's going to be a hit. And then a year later, you might get a check.

I really wish I knew what I was doing because I'd be writing hit songs every minute.

I know I'm probably much too late to try and apologize for my mistakes.

People can hear my songs are coming from something real. I mean what I say; I'm not just writing to impress critics or young girls, or older girls. The way I talk is the way I write a song.
