In college I had a weekend gig at a restaurant, a solo thing that was the best practice I could have ever had. That's where I learned to coordinate my singing and my piano playing.

I'm ballsy. Well, sometimes I'm ballsy.

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.

I've been told the weirdest things: 'Yeah, I love taking a bath to your music!' or 'I gave birth to my daughter while listening to your music.'

For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.

I became a musician so I wouldn't have to get up at 6 in the morning.

It's important to keep indie record stores alive because their unique environments introduce music lovers to things in a very personal way.
