What's really cool is to be able to write music and have people around the world [who are] able to relate to it. They tell you that [your] song helped them get through a divorce or they got married to that song. It makes me want to keep doing that for [myself] and for people.

Talking with my friends and family every day helps keep me grounded and connected to home. They are the most important things to me.

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

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.

I love 'Breathe' with Taylor (Swift) but I've been performing 'Lucky' with Jason (MRaz) all over the world in the past year so I'm glad that's what won.

I love to exercise outside in the fresh air and sun: hiking, swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and jogging.

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