It's about the music, it's not about just showing people what you can do with a piece of wood with strings on it

For me, theory has always opened things up to where I can walk into a room and just by hearing something I know exactly where to go on the guitar. I have a better time playing because I have a variety of colors to bring to the table.

I write songs because I have to write them, and if I didn't I'd be doing some other kind of music that didn't require a song.

I combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments.

I'm going through a phase where I'm really accomplishing a lot of things and in that is everything I've learned.

For me it's important to be in balance. To not let fear get in the way of things, to not worry so much about protecting yourself all the time.

You are free. Close your eyes. Open your mind. Let this music in, and you will see that this is true
