Probably my favorite artists to listen to James Taylor, Stevie Wonder - I haven't gone back in a really long time and really listened to them - my first guitar influences. It's been awhile since I revisited 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.

Right, yeah, you know, my favorite thing just globally about music is just hopefully I'm able to be, you know, blessing the people in any way that I can.

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.

It seemed at first that everybody was more concerned with my age.

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