Sometimes my hands they don’t feel like my own; I need someone to love, I need someone to hold.

With music, it feels natural that, in my head, I can pull things apart and then put them back together very quickly.

My love of R&B and hip-hop has influenced my life not even as a musician, but generally in terms of growing up and looking to America as an inspiration.

I really wanted to approach performing live differently than most people who just play guitar and sing.

I never was the front man in any bands I played in when I was in college, and I always learned music by myself at home.

I'm not an L.A. guy. I don't take meetings - you know what I mean? I don't really know how to interact very well with people in L.A. because everybody's got an agenda and everybody's like, "What do you do?" "Where are you going?" Or it's like, "What do you know?" And I'm not on a grind - I was there to make music and to meet people but I wasn't hustling for anything.
