You have to respect your audience. Without them, you're essentially standing alone, singing to yourself.

The older I get, the more I embrace who I am.

Traveling renews you.

I think I have allowed my voice to experiment with the different genres. And I think that I have just really enjoyed the journey of getting to know my voice and seeing what it's capable of, what it's not capable of.

Minimal is the word I'd use to describe how I live and dress, and it's also how I sing. I'm not a big fan of overemoting.

We're in a period where society seems very attracted to flash, and that seeps into people's musical taste.

My voice and the styles and genres I sing all express my appreciation for what I hear.
