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

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

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

I usually end up falling for one of my really good guy friends because I know everything about them, and you fall in love with their personalities, and it makes them become attractive to you in your eyes.

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.

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.
