My first two records are so simply constructed. The reason isn't because I wanted to make simple music. It's because I don't really have the chops.

I don't want to be singing my diary.

I'm not a very dark person.

All is fair in love and songwriting.

I don't want to be the next big anything. I just want to play for people and that's it.

I had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal.

Songwriting is something I really need to work on. I don't have very many songs but I really love it. I would love to be a great song writer some day.
