I used to find places in high school and college, empty rooms or spaces with pianos. Instead of going to a party, I'd play alone for hours. It became my buddy.

I do have faith that something better is always coming for you.

It's easy for me to be vulnerable and craft songs when I'm being a hermit in my woods loft, secluded. When I get attention for it, whether it's on stage or in life - I have sort of a love-hate relationship with all of it. That makes me feel really stark naked.

I don't really usually write sort of a cheerleader-type lyric.

I once heard someone doing a karaoke version of my song. That was pretty funny.

Hopefully, my tears are worth something to the outside world.

Conflict is a great thing to start with. For me as a songwriter, I am constantly trying to solve problems.
