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.

I think I've just gotten better at learning how to write a song.

I moved from Minnesota out to Los Angeles and I thought I was going to hate it out there, but I really like it.

And as I got older and played more, people began to forget about my age and took the music more seriously.

I love all kinds of different music.

I have way too many songs that have music but don't have lyrics.

I think I'm more influenced, just in general, not by blues artists, but more by stuff from Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder is probably my biggest musical influence of all. And Donny Hathaway.
