At the end of the day, there's only a few major stars in the music business, and then there's all these people that are aspiring to be that.

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.

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, because you got to persevere despite the fact that people tell you you shouldn't do this or you shouldn't do that or you're not good enough or your style's too different. I've heard all of that stuff.

I don't feel like that many musicians are competitive with each other.

My head’s under water but I’m breathing fine

I like songs that have like a little bit of quirkiness to them. What I like to do with songs, is kind of throw a little curveball in the lyrics or in the arrangement, to kind of give it a little twist to it.

For me I'm actually doing what I normally do when I do my solo thing and the other thing is actually more new to me.
