There's so much music in Austin, and it's all so different.

Music is soaking up things that I see in other people or things that go on in my life, and I put it out there in the form of a song.

You could say I'm a laid-back kind of guy.

My mom always told me I should have a Plan B. I said that if I'm not going to play guitar I'm going to play drums. And if I'm not going to play drums, I'm going to play bass. I always just wanted to play music. I was completely obsessed.
