I feel like politics have always informed what I do. If you know anything about my music, you know I've never been shy about stating how I vote.

There's two lanes running down this road which ever side your on, accounts for where you want to go or what you're running from.

Dreamland is a book, but it's my song in book form. It's translated itself into a different medium.

You've gotta know happy. You've gotta know sad. 'Cause you're gonna know lonely and you're gonna know sad

I kept thinking, I went to college and I have to get a real job.

About age ten, we moved from the place where I was born, moved overseas.

So I came home and I had a resume and everything, but the only job experience I had was just playing in bars and clubs on my summers off. So, I was temping and stuff during the day and playing music at night.
