I don't want to sound arrogant or anything, but I just always knew that my career would be playing music.

I think you have to know exactly what you want. Whether you want to be a guitar player or a musician, you have to be really focused on it if you really want to do it.

When I began my career, I was constantly referred to as the kid who could play the blues.

Apparently, there's this whole set of disgruntled people but obviously it's not my intention to offend anyone by changing the style of music that I've done.

It's just satisfying for me to be able to write kind of like a finished, nice product.

I didn't just want to put something out that I wasn't satisfied with.
