I'm always shy and timid when I write in front of people.

Bob Marley is a huge influence. I love reggae music, but I also love the purpose of the songs he writes and the style of the music - it takes your worries away and makes you feel good, and I think that's what music is about.

Be happy and comfortable with who you are, whoever it may be.

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

I miss everything about you. Can't believe that I still want youAnd after all the things we've been through.

Whenever I'm on tour and I'm in my hotel room and I'm writing and playing my guitar, I go in the bathroom and I record whatever I'm writing in there. It's just what I love to do.

I get inspired by what I go through. Experiencing all these different things we all go through like heartache, falling in love, watching a family member or a friend going through [something], and trying to write about it from a different perspective.
