I see a lot of parents now who are really supporting their kids playing music.

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

I've been in fortunate position of never really having to battle with my record company to do the things I wanted to do in the studio.

Sometimes I'll get a burst when I write lyrics, it usually happens in 20 minutes and I'll write the whole song, and that's really the only way it feels comfortable.

I think my favorite thing is the mystery of life - it makes you feel that much better about accomplishing something.

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

I wanted to have something that I was proud of and that I knew people would enjoy.
