I played classical as a kid.

I wrote the song "Show Me" as a prayer to God asking simple, honest questions about life and death and why there is so much suffering in the world. As I grew with the song I realized I shouldn't limit these questions solely to God; I should ask those questions of others and of myself.

If a few people decide not to buy my album it's really not going to change my life that much.

People tell me all the time that my songs help them express things to loved ones that they may not be able to say themselves.

I was a busy kid in high school - a little bit of an overachiever, I guess. Prom king was kind of silly, but the rest of the stuff was important to me.

Critics like to describe and categorize things, and categories often have a way of limiting people.
