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.

Songwriting is like a therapy, it's a connection that you have with another person, and I'm not scared of it at all for some reason.

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

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.

Being a musician is a job - it is just a really fun one!

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

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