As a new artist - I don't care who you talk to - I think everyone would agree, it's hard to get your expectations right.

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.

I was addicted to playing music.

I believe when you meet the right person it clicks, and you both know and you start making it work, you know?

Yes, I did lock myself in my room for about two years and write some songs and things like that. But I don't feel like I missed out on a whole lot.

I'm very shy and awkward. I think the best thing is to embrace it. It's about accepting who you are and what you want to become and knowing all that you've got to work with, whether it's good or bad. My music was the only place I could be me for the longest time.

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