For a young artist to really make it and make money is a lot more difficult these days.

The coolest thing I've gotten to do in the past few years is guest star on Sesame Street.

I always try to do something different. I don't think I've made the same record over and over.

I had success early on where I'm able to try to keep it fun, and I don't have to do things just for the sake of making a living, which a lot of my musician friends don't have that luxury of course.

Maybe I'm genetically more inclined to music - but the music I make is so far removed from Indian classical music. I grew up in Texas!

A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.

I feel like I've been lucky, because I don't feel like I've ever tried to be somebody I'm not. People might disagree.
