Whenever I'm in need of inspiration and mantras, I go straight to simple affirmations. 'I am strong', 'I am brave', 'I can do this' and 'I'm awesome'. Whatever you put after 'I am', you will become. 'I am' are the two most powerful words, so make sure what you say after 'I am' is what you want to experience. It's like a magic trick.

The internet is awesome and responsible for my success.

My parents were always very supportive and accepting. They even shared my curiosity for life, or perhaps I theirs.

Everything in my life really filters down to the music.

In a song you can shine a light on a topic and with your voice at a concert you can shine a light on an actual issue or a person, you can acknowledge whatever you like with music and people will listen.

When you choose to be a loving person, it's magical how love comes back to you and brightens someone's day, changing your mood and that of the world.

I love getting a smile out of my girlfriend - that makes me feel like I'm seen, or heard.
