I think it's like everything you do is just a reflection of who you are as an artist.

Some of my influences are black gospel artists so I definitely want to do a soul-gospel type thing.

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

You know, being able to, in my mind, have a song that you know doesn't really have any loose ends or you know, extra fat in it, so to speak.

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

I think it's like everything you do is just a reflection of who you are as an artist.

When you get just that right audience and just that right sound on stage and you can just sit back and kinda just let it happen and it's not really any work. I love those moments. Nothing can beat that for me.
