What I get on a yoga mat, and from a yoga teacher, has been more beneficial onstage than any other workshop I've ever done. And it starts with that breath; it starts with getting out of my head and really just slowing the system down and being in a true present moment with each and every breath. That then allows me to be a more balanced and focused individual onstage.

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.

When I was in high school, The Dave Matthews Band was a local band, and that was the first time I was starting to connect with a live band that was something that wasn't on the radio or TV.

What I'd love to do is work with kids in the U.S. to raise their awareness and encourage them to be global citizens. We're all connected these days; we can listen to the same music as kids all around the world and share our ideas.

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

To create an album of 12 songs, I've got to write about 80 songs. Half of those are totally weird and rubbish.

I've always used songwriting as a way to help me organise reality.
