I like to sit in front of the computer, going through files of music, and recording the final vocals, guitars and what- nots. But the windows are always open and you can hear the crickets, birds, chickens, and even the sound of rain hitting the studio. The farm is a great place to hang out in, learn from and create music.

Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head?

I meet people every single day who have heard the music and incorporated it into their lives. I feel like I have a tribe all around the world.

Paul McCartney and John Lennon would often write a song a day, so I have the same workmanlike philosophy.

"Be nice to your parents." When they made the decision to have a child, whether it was planned or not, they were changing their entire lives to do the best they could for this new human being. A lot of young people, we don't understand that.

If I'm in a relationship, that girl gets showered with letters from the road. I pour my heart into it.

I discovered at 18 that singing and songwriting was my strength. I decided that it was closest to my heart and if I pursued it then there would be no competition. I would just live my life being myself and living my dream.
