In my dorm room, I was a hermit making music, I've always had a sense of urgency that I don't have forever to make this happen.

I listen to a wide array of music, all depends on the mood I'm in at the time.

A song or an album is never really done. You can work on it forever, but knowing when to call it a day and knowing when to walk away from it is extremely important.

I don't come to Toronto often, so when I'm there it's always special and rare which I think makes it very exciting for my fans.

It's important to push yourself to get better at your craft - whatever that is. It's important to grow and evolve with each project.

It's a really good time for California right now in music.

I think it's important to say something. If you're making music it's kinda' like, oh, cool, so is everyone else.
