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

When I turned 19 I kinda realized that I needed to write my own songs instead of singing songs written by other 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 miss everything about you. Can't believe that I still want youAnd after all the things we've been through.

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

I don't take relationships too seriously, but everyone else seems to. And when you get your heart broken, it's like the end of the world. And I look at it as that was one moment in your life, one chapter. That person helped you grow and figure out what kind of person you want to be with in the future.

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.
