I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate. I'd be patient if I had the time.

Sometimes you feel like a very small drop in this huge ocean.

I wasn't intentionally trying to create my own path or be original, it was just I needed to say certain things and I needed to express myself, and that's how it came out.

The focus is on singer/songwriters now rather than huge shows. I mean, of course there's always a place for that too.

I mean, there'll always be room for big productions and everything but it's good to see the other side.

People that come to my shows are definitely people that feel outsiders. They feel like I don't feel sexy, I don't feel like - I can't go out every night on Friday and I can't connect to that, and I feel so much pressure to do that.

I feel like 'Next To Me' is a great introduction because it's a simple song that has a simple message for me. I wanted to introduce something that lyrically I'm proud of and introduces me both as an artist and as a writer.
