I grew up in the suburbs and was raised on rap radio, so it took me a long time to stumble upon the acoustic guitar as a resource for anything.

I just like writing lyrics. I find a little satisfaction in performing live, making records. But primarily, I just try to write every day.

I don't really write for an album. I just write songs whenever I feel like it, whenever they come to me. It's all a complete accident.

Musicians wake up and create a more loving community by creating heavier music.

It's not my way to talk about my feelings. They're impudent to myself, so it wouldn't make any sense if I tried to explain them to anyone else. I've never been to therapy - not interested in it.

I don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.

I love being lost! I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone. I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people, we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart; there's been people who have left my life and I don't have a problem with that.
