A long term goal is to encourage students to start doing concerts in which I or the other artists will come back at the end of the school year to see their concerts.

Everything I read about me is what I say. The way I've come across is exactly who I am. So far, they haven't skewed it to be one way or another too much.

I grabbed my drummer's cymbal in my teeth just as he crashed down on it with his sticks-I blacked out. I was a punk in those days. It was in Seattle. I still have all my teeth too, it's amazing.

I have a lot of survivor insticts, and I know when to quit. I know when to go forward it my life, but not everybody does.

If we didn't live in a society that told us we're not OK if we're not making 100 grand a year, I think we'd all be a lot happier.

Find your authentic voice, become vulnerable, and then put yourself out there.

I like my lyrics to feel conversational and truthful, as if we're having real talk. I don't really like generic lyrics.
