I don't like being vulnerable. I feel uncomfortable in it.

When I turned 19 I kinda realized that I needed to write my own songs instead of singing songs written by other people.

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.

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

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

I didn't want to call and schedule shows or call and make people listen to my music. Luckily, my friends and family really stayed on me and made me put myself out there.

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