There's a lot of hurry up and wait. But it gives you time to write a song.

I would tell myself, "Love yourself and don't be afraid to take risks." I was often afraid to take risks, socially, because I was young and a little more shy and still figuring out who I wanted to be. Sometimes I look back and think, "I should have just been bolder and more confident."

I want to make a better record than I made the last time. I want to grow. I want to discover new things about myself creatively.

Music business is not for everyone. But if you have it in you, you have that passion, if you have that energy in you that you really want to make something creative and make something that's going to impact the world, then go for it, do it and don't let anybody tell you no.

I feel like spirituality definitely comes through in my music, but I don't make any specific efforts to make it that way.

Musicians are in-season all the time.

Music business is hard. It's very difficult. And it's not for everyone. Even if you can sing or even if you can write a song, it takes a lot of determination, it takes some kind of thick skin.
