I like that I stand for something like American Idol which helps musicians and artists get out there. It's important to have shows like Idol because it's so hard to get into the music industry nowadays - nearly impossible.

There are so many good venues in Chicago.

Melodies are important. I always kind of pride myself on my melodies.

Writing on the road is a passion of mine.

Some people take pictures, I write songs.

Food in Chicago is the best.
