If I could make noise with anything, I was going to.

I hope people half my age and twice my age will listen to my music - I want it to live forever and for my audience to feel like they have a friend in my music. Music is a spirit. It heals. It's an amazing thing to be loved and appreciated, and sometimes, music has not just been my best friend, it's been my only friend.

There's a lot of people I'd like to write with, like Keith Urban or even as far out as Stevie Wonder.

When I was in high school, I had binders with pictures of tour buses.

Any time I write a new song, I am jazzed about it for like 24 hours and then I am over it and want to write another one.

Crowded hallways, are the loneliest places, for outcasts and rebels,or anyone who just dares to be different.

Growing up in Louisiana, my grandmother gave me an accordion because of our Cajun heritage. What ended up happening was I started learning about more instruments, so I just kind of went that route. Music's really all I've ever done.
