Traveling renews you.

I started singing when I was five. I grew up the youngest of four kids who all studied classical piano, so you could say I've been listening to music ever since the moment of conception.

If you knew how meat was made, youd probably lose your lunch.

As a songwriter you have an umbilical cord to the song and it's hard to expand on your understanding of the lyrics. Whereas when you cover a song you can create your own reason why you're attached to it.

I think I fall into a lot of cracks in terms of I'm too something. I'm too this, I'm too that. And my music has never really had a home. I've been this floating alternative. I'm too mainstream for alternative. I'm too alternative for mainstream. And I'm just kind of wandering.

My public image is so low-key, but I get to travel the world and still have an audience and it's really amazing. I don't take that for granted.

Sweet, sweet burn of sun and summer wind, and you my friend, my new fun thing, my summer fling.
