As long as children are still getting kicked out of their homes by parents, getting bullied, commuting suicide, et cetera. it's definitely still worth talking about.

My advice to anyone wanting to get into the music business, is always be ready to learn and remain humble.

I think my songwriting has developed over the years. As I get older, I have become less afraid to share real experiences.

People relate to you a lot more when you're honest and authentic - and that's hard to do in front of millions of people every week.

My songwriting and overall approach to music go beyond just good singing and strong musicality - I want people, now more so than ever, to feel something and be moved somehow by the content I create.

If I can help encourage or inspire someone out there who is struggling with some of the same or similar issues as myself, then I think it's worth talking about.

In regards to my artistry, I've learned the importance of being vulnerable.
