I'm a boxing junkie, a serial-killer junkie, and a classical guitar junkie. All of these guys are great, poetic references.

We're all human and life is complicated.

Like many musicians, it's my roots in music, playing cover songs. I've done probably a lot more covers than the average person who does what I do, but I'm very proud of it, and I do feel like I really bring a lot artistically to these covers.

When I get compared to artists like Jose Gonzalez or Bon Iver, I can't help but think, "I've been doing this since they were in third grade."

I make music to process - because I have to, not for praise or accolades or reactions.

Demos are something you do in the early stages of your career, but when you get going, you just go in and record the song.

Nylon string is still a new love and I'm not tired of it yet.
