I just think music is so intrinsically linked with images in the culture that we live in that youll be hard-pressed to have an experience with the music without a preconceived notion.

When I read, you know, a rough neighborhood of Portland, I'm like - what? - they didn't have kombucha bars there?

Up-and-coming musicians can easily reach out and find a loving teacher, and that's definitely what happened to me.

You don't have to be fearless to do anything, you can be scared out of your mind.

I’m not gonna sit around and waste my precious divine energy trying to explain and be ashamed of things you think are wrong with me.

The music that I make is pretty sincere; it's from my heart and I love it, and what just happened is more people have started to connect with my heart, and I haven't followed some kind of marketing scheme.

What I'm identifying with is the vision or the idea - whatever was the little nugget that started it.
