I love doing shows. I love rocking shows. I love playing instruments. I love singing. If I can find a way to do that and feed my family, then I'm a happy man.

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.'

I feel, as a songwriter, it's one of the hardest things to do - to sit down and say how you feel.

A grown man should always carry cash, right? I don't know who told me, but someone told me that a long time ago, and the biggest turnoff is when a guy doesn't have cash on him.

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

I can show you in music better than I can tell you in words.

Hawaiian music is beautiful and simple.
