The actual producing, mixing, and mastering is hard work, harder than what I do.

I grew up doing musical theatre in Orlando, Florida. When I was 14, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time - a deliveryman heard me singing and offered to deliver my demo tape to Sony Music. I was just really lucky.

We live in a cynical world now, and it's nice to be part of entertainment that is hopeful and heartfelt and wears its heart on its sleeve, but isn't saccharine. It's real. It's grounded.

If that day comes when I'm done with the acting and singing, I'll just pack it in and go home.

My mom has always been my support system. She taught me to never give up and to keep pursuing my passions no matter what.

I think that dreams, goals, and aspirations, all of that stuff - I'm really lucky to have been able to work with the talented people that I've been able to work with and I hope to be doing that for a very long time.

I'm my own worst critic, so I try and not focus on what I've done wrong, or what I could improve on.
