The blogosphere gives me my life, I am fortunate to have developed relationships with great websites who allow me to reach a whole ton of new people everyday.

My eclectic taste allows me to do something unique and not box myself in.

I've basically been able to do everything, I basically run my own career and the decisions I make - whether it's how I'm gonna roll out music, how I'm gonna play on tours, different strategies for releasing and marketing things - and that comes from being college educated and someone who's interested in that side of the business rather than only the music. If anything I think that's where the biggest direct influence comes from.

Its important to follow your dreams whatever that may be.

I've kind of shut myself off to a lot of new music because I don't want to be influenced by it.

I am a musician, a songwriter, music fan. I live in New York City and I love my job.

I am really obsessed with finding melodies that just hypnotize you and sink you into a song.
