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

Cause I enjoy both, I enjoy recording and playing live, but yeah, the rush of playing live is really something.

My parents had a huge pile of records - vinyl! - that I loved, especially the Motown stuff, Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding.

Yeah, touring can get rough some times and draining, but I always have to pinch myself and realize that I'm doing what I love.

I'm not a fast, stream-of-consciousness lyricist at all - I know some guys who are, and if there is one skill I wish I had, it's that.

I have an awesome church home and an awesome Pastor down in L.A., and I couldn't be happier.

I've literally become comfortable with approaching whatever style of music at any time.
