I kind of grew up a guitar nerd and I tried to figure out how to shred on an acoustic guitar as a kid, while listening to jazz or whatever. So that is kind of a different thing and my church background, growing up with worship kind of the ground that I learned how to play music from. Those are all odd ways of growing up, compared to most people, so I think the music has plenty of uniqueness in that.

Pain is as common as skin, we all experience it. It unites us all. Fortunately, that's not the whole story.

Money is not the root of all kinds of evil. The love of money is. It’s also the root of a lot of bad art.

To me genres were always an imaginary things, they're just marketing channels.

The danger of art created to rise above the noise is that it may end up being noise itself.

The more successful the work, the more people will step in to try to influence and manipulate the work for their own benefit.

I think I'm just trying to be myself and write songs that are honest. That's what I hear in artist's that I like.
