Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best.

Opinions only carry weight in the second or third person.

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

I write for myself, and I write for my friends and people who I have a connection with. I try to give some dignity to peoples' lifestyles that tend to be ignored.

I'm making music with my friends. It's fun. It should be fun. You shouldn't make music if it isn't fun.

I have been singing as long as I can remember. I used to be in choir; I used to do musical theater. I'd prefer not to sing my own songs, but there you have it.

Even if I'm writing music, it's with a lyric in mind, to communicate some kind of feeling.
