I love classic rock, rock and roll, that's the top notch. I love soul - bluesy music as well.

I definitely I prefer to sing in the car. I don't sing in the shower, maybe its because that's the one time I don't need to talk to anyone so I should just shut up, otherwise I'm just, you know, jibber jabber.

I'm going for something very raw and organic.

My folks have played everything from rock, disco, pop, funk, and blues. My dad has always brought and played different genres like jazz, classical, and Latin. With all this in my pocket, I feel I have a taste of everything for my influences.

I believe a great performer is someone who sounds just as great live as they do in the studio and vice versa. They should know how to work the stage.

Depth on different levels is so important to me. You look at a band like The Beatles, all their material has so much depth to it. And I want people to be able to run away with my melodies and get lost in them and take the lyrics and be able to relate to them.

Music continues to remind me that its boundaries are limitless.
