Encore' was an experiment. 'Encore' was the second chance at a first impression. 'Encore' was not completely planned.

My first instrument was an accordion. Growing up in Louisiana, my grandmother gave me an accordion because of our Cajun heritage.

The stage is my comfort zone, and playing live is what I've always wanted to do. It's why I want to do two hundred dates a year. I wouldn't feel that way if I were nervous onstage.

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.
