I always loved singing and writing poetry. I always loved music, and I’ve loved writing my whole life. When I put them together it was probably in my early 20s, where I put words to music for the first time.

I did go through a Goth thing, but that was a long time ago. I just like artists that shake it up, that piss people off or make people think or rattle the cage somehow.

I absolutely refuse to bare midriff.

You are always learning; there is a lot of grey; don't take things for granted.

I want to pave my own path artistically.

I don't think that I'm a top 40 artist in any way. So I don't think I'm that mainstream.

Music has always gotten me through life, particularly honest, real music.
