Every time I try to write a song, when I sit down and think I'm going to write, I really want to write a song, and it never works out. It's always when it hits me unexpectedly on a plane or right before I go to bed, something like that.

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.'

To write a song you must have an imagination, to have an imagination you must be free.

In my songs, I'm not saying something that's never been said before. The have lyrics aren't going to blow people away. It's the emotion and the melody that drive it home.

I tend to overthink things. I'm not the guy who screams 'This is a world smash!' when I finish a song.

Every artist should want to be like Michael Jackson

My dream was to not get a day job but to sleep, wake up and do my music. I want to keep that dream forever.
