Nothing beats performing live. For me, there's nothing better.

My folks are hilarious extroverts and have always been very supportive of all my artistic endeavors. I'm really lucky to come from such an encouraging family.

I'm always working on lots of songs at once. For me it's very emotionally driven.

I find myself improvising a lot. But, sometimes I'll come us with a chorus or just one line and it will sort of hang out for a long time before it get's flushed out into a real living song.

I think expression is at it's best when it comes from an honest place, so I always try to use my own life experiences, feelings, struggles, frustrations etc. as the catalyst for my song writing.

I knew I wanted to be a performer really early on, like around 8 years old. I did tons of acting and loved being in front of people.
