I've kind of shut myself off to a lot of new music because I don't want to be influenced by it.
Hoodie AllenIt's easy to choose doing what you love when there are people out there supporting you.
Hoodie AllenI like to write from my life and the relationships that make it up. I think its important to use music to change people's moods. I try to write my story in a way that people can take for themselves and their own life.
Hoodie AllenI get to focus on something I love to do 24-hours a day rather than trying to squeeze it in between midterms, or even during my normal workday. When I was at Google it was like you wake up at 7 and then you get home by 7 and you start your second job of music. So now I get to focus all my efforts on music, travel and play shows and do all of this stuff. That's the difference - That's all my life is, all day.
