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.

A great song should lift your heart, warm the soul and make you feel good.

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.

I pay attention to how I look but I don't let it go too far.

I think the older you get, the more you know about life, and the more you learn about yourself and you become comfortable in your own skin. So the older I'm getting, the more fun I'm having.

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.
