Athens, much like Austin, is a difficult music scene. There are so many musicians there that it is hard to get gigs and hard for people to take you seriously.

I don't worry so much about whether people are buying my music or getting it for free.

I write very personal songs. Subject matter is usually derived from some internal struggle that I am having.

I believe that people want to hear good songs and they want to be moved.

I think people just want to hear good songs and I just want to keep getting better as a writer so that I can deliver good songs.

I just try to stay honest with myself and in doing that I feel like the songs are going to resonate.
