I pay attention to how I look but I don't let it go too far.

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

I was always shy and had a huge fear of being onstage.

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

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