I always loved LeAnn Rimes and especially Clint Black for his soulfulness. As I've gotten older, my influences have broadened - John Mayer, Michael Buble, Stevie Wonder, Keith Urban, Stevie Ray Vaughn, the Beatles - all of these artists have somehow been a part of my development as a songwriter.

All the people I hung out with were musicians.

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

I truly believe that when you've found the one you're searching for, you become a better version of yourself. You're better for it.

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.

At 22, there’s a lot of trying to figure out love, which at the end of the day, I’ve realized I’ll never figure out, though the process of trying is fun.

I've got a lot of dreams I want to achieve, and I hope someone can cheer me on as I'll cheer them on in their dreams.
