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

I didn't start playing music really until I was 18/19, so it was a relatively new thing. I didn't play much music in school.

Music is a self-propelling thing. You can not rely on anybody but yourself.

I never looked at being a musician any different than waking up one day and wanting to be an accountant or a lawyer.

Its always important to fall back on your instincts and core beliefs and that was pretty hard for me to do but trusting in my self the way I trusted that if I were to sit at a piano for two hours and I was going learn something, that trust I'd put in myself really helped me get through it. For five to six months I just wrote songs and believed they would turn out to be things I could be proud of and be happy.

At the end of the day music is a grind. You're constantly working at it and even with playing shows as well. If your schedule isn't planned right it could really throw things off, but honestly at the end of the day its incredible being able to go to so many places.

I have some vivid memories of walking around as a child with a cassette tape.
