Writing is my therapy. My feelings build up inside of me and then I sit down and write a song.

Creating music fulfills me. It gives me purpose. It connects me with the world.

And when I perform on my own tour, I have to talk myself into going out on that stage every single night.

Wait a second Why should you care what they think of you? When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you? Do you like you? You don't have to try so hard, you don't have to give it all away, you just have to get up You don't have to change a single thing.

Taking a song and bringing it to life in a professional recording studio can be an intimidating process at first; I know it certainly was for me. So to be able to offer support and guidance to an emerging singer-songwriter is a huge honor. I look forward to playing a role in such an exciting time of someone's songwriting career.

I was always shy and had a huge fear of being onstage.

Well, I started writing songs about three years ago when I learned to play the guitar, but I've been singing since I was eleven.
