Really connecting with someone and maybe opening their mind a little bit, is such a cool thing to be able to do through music.

Different people have different ways of doing things. For me, becoming a songwriter first and falling in love with the Nashville songwriting community and the process of songs and getting better and putting more in what I wanted to say, was absolutely vital in me even wanting to be an artist.

I drink to feel / I smoke to breathe / Just look what love / Has done to me

If I'm not writing about myself, then I sit down with people I really dig writing with and throw 'em out and see if something sticks. Their brain plus mine hopefully will make something interesting and cool and it will just snowball and we'll have a unique song by the end of it.

I would love to go to India. And also someday, I want to have a family. That's my bucket-list.

Just like dust, we settle in this town.

Just do something that makes you stand out. Even if not everyone likes it, just do it.
