I'd rather see the world from a different angle.

I was homeless and I was in San Diego and I started singing in a local coffee shop and people started coming to hear me sing.

I've always had a love for poetry and when I got signed to a record label I thought, 'How odd that I'm doing a record before a book of poetry.'

Everything is temporary if you give it enough time.

I've always toured solo acoustic.

I would always encourage people of any age not to be so quick to follow other people's truths but to search and follow your own moral code and live by your own integrity, and mostly just be brave.

I didn't mean to be a songwriter; I just was writing for fun, you have all day to do it. I was homeless so that's all I had to do.
