Not only am I putting music out there, I'm giving part of myself away.

Not only am I putting music out there, I'm giving part of myself away.

The first video I ever made, announcing 'Crash the Super Bowl,' I did about fifty takes and I wanted to die. It was awful.

My two sisters and I sang all the time. Whenever we cleaned the kitchen, we sang in three-part harmony.

In college, I faced an interesting problem. I wanted to play music all the time and yet I wasn't ready for anyone to hear it. To remedy this, I took to retreating to stairwells as a safe place to sing and write music. It was there that I wrote most of my songs in college and really grew into an artist.

I think a lot of singer-songwriters get compared to each other, but I'd like to think that what I'm doing is special and specific to me.

I don't have any rock star demeanor to me. I just can't pull that off.
