I am producing sounds that people are not used to hearing from the harp.

I have a voice that's obviously untrained - and I think untrainable - so I kind of secreted it away for a long time. Actually, I would write songs with lyrics when I was younger, but I would just sing in my head.

The very first Walnut Whales recording was recorded just a few weeks after I had started singing, out of the blue, started singing. And the voice, you can hear how uncomfortable I am with it, and how terrified I am with it.

I'm not a wanderer, which is funny because I'm on tour half the time. I'm a home, hearth and family kind of person.

I am not doing something that it is experimental music in relation to classical music.

I have a deep rooted folk sensibility that I can't get away from completely.

I have writing songs on my own for about six years.
