I remember playing the guitar through the amplifier facing out the window of my house onto the street in the summer time - that was social media in 1992.

I scientifically engineer my music to be as accessible as possible.

Atlanta's my musical home. It really was the place where I really came alive.

I knew what I wanted to do when I was 13 and I had to go through four years of high school to get out. That's a blessing, because I never had to lay on my bed staring up at the ceiling going, 'What am I going to do with my life?'

My hits are not hits.

Don't be scared to walk alone. Don't be scared to like it.

What I enjoy about the live experience is getting onstage, being handed a guitar that is in tune, taking it off mute, knowing that the very moment I want to play a note, I can play it. People are waiting on me and I'm waiting on me, and I have no idea what I'm going to play. That's the biggest joy in life.
