You have to have a vision and know that it's worth seeing it through. Other than that, just be true to your heart.

I think every tour stop on the west coast is equally rewarding for me. There is something healing about the air and the light in the west.

There are no rules or certain methods. I usually start with the guitar or piano and sing melodies over the chords. The lyrics seem to be born out of that, and the fact that it's still a mystery to me is my favorite part.

On tour I'm finding out that I am half gypsy, 40% vagabond, and 10 house cat.

Inspiration comes from everywhere always. But it's strongest in love and in its absence.

I started writing when I was 17. I got an acoustic guitar for my birthday after I discovered Bob Dylan and James Taylor.

I want to build a treehouse village connected by bridges in the woods by my house so my friends have a place to stay.
