I think part of what happens is that small labels want to get bigger. And bigger is not better.

I'm not so much of a joiner.

I think people get fixated on the example of an idea.

All I really care about is that I'm being honest and I'm real and I'm coming from a real place.

I know there are some labels that put out music for art's sake, but I don't know which ones.

I write about my life and the lives of people around me and situations, and the idea's for each record to try to make you a better person, to understand the life that you lead more.

I've always heard music in my head since I was a little kid, so I've always played towards that. If I felt bad, that's what I did.
