I think, because I'm an artist, part of my job is to be a barometer, an antenna. It's in the air and it resonates with a lot of people to lighten up.

I was raised on pop music. Anything classical ran together in a complicated blur.

I tour alone. There's no sound check, no back up. I stay with the hosts I am in a family home and it's really nourishing. I just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. Every day, it's a new relationship being built. It's odd and wonderful.

I try to make my music have the quiet spaces of folk, the intimacy, and the energy of rock.

Music is all about training in harmony, training to understand and use musical energy for our greater pleasure by attuning to the natural laws of the universe.

I found it stimulating to study the sciences. It was a side of understanding the universe that I hadn't been exposed to.
