Anytime you put yourself in a creative box, it's going to stifle you; it's not conducive to the writing or recording process.

Love what you do and who you truly are. Be willing to die for it. If you are true to yourself, you can never go wrong

Anytime you put yourself in a creative box, it's going to stifle you; it's not conducive to the writing or recording process.

I've always been a fan of vinyl. There's something about the ritual of it. Something about it holds its gravity, for some reason. Sometimes you'll put on music and the music fades into the background. But when you take that vinyl out and put it down, the music becomes the conversation as opposed to being the soundtrack to it.

I have a split - of my real home-life side that's real-life, and then the creative side that is not necessarily real-life, but it intersects my real-life so much.

When you break it all down, my punk rock is my dad's blues. It's music from the underground, and it's real, and it's written for the downtrodden in uncertain times.

Where my heart lies is in the real-life, but at the same time part of it lies in this creative realm where I need to go in and put out that fire, scratch that itch, in order to be all rounded.
