I've learned in my older age how to let it go when things don't work out, because something incredible that I don't know about yet is probably right around the corner.

I like to leave all of my soul on the stage where I perform.

For me, when I want to be emotionally moved by a vocal, I don't want to hear auto tune on it, I want to hear the beautiful imperfections.

For those who have never seen me live, you kinda need to check me out.

If I want to be moved by the track, I don't want it to be sequenced, I want it to be somebody playing the guitar or piano or a horn arrangement where you can hear the breath. You can almost smell the studio while listening to the music. For me, that's what moves me emotionally, that's what I came from. I think that's always going to work best for me.

If you're mourning, cry, scream and purge whatever is going on inside you emotionally. That's part of the process. And keep those that love you very close as you go through it.

I don't really chase trends and fads because they are fleeting.
