I'm excited about the old songs. That's a nice place to be after grinding out the music business for twenty years.

Once you have kids and you're married, it's all about them. My life changed. You can see in my records.

I'm a family guy. A lot of my songs are inspired by my kids. Simple relationships. Watching them grow up, watching them share experiences with me and vice versa.

I've learned that love takes priority.

In so many of my songs, I'm trying to touch on various aspects of love.

Musically, there's probably nothing better than, after spending weeks or months of grinding on a lyric or a song, when you play a good song from beginning to end for the first time - there's a moment there where all the pain and suffering is worth it.

The most rewarding thing of my success has been the ability to use my music for many different causes that have become important to me.
