I always try to be very human in my performances and hang out with my fans. It is cool to be a celebrity, but at the end of the day I want to empower my audience and say, 'Hey, I am just like you.

Music is such a healing thing, no matter who you are.

I started playing guitar and writing songs when I was 15. I think what mainly sparked my interest was just the fact that I grew up listening to Cheryl King, Joni Mitchell, and James Taylor, and was just always inspired by that sort of organic art, and organic songs and just very natural songwriting that came out of some of those artists.

I like to perform live like we're all just hanging out in my living room. I'm totally casual and informal on stage.

I am kind of majoring in bull shitting.

I used to bring my sketchbook to gym class and doodle, because I am a very uncoordinated athlete.

I think the most challenging part of being a performer is just making sure that people know that when you get up there every night, it's unique and that you care.
