I would like to look back on my body of work and be proud of each record in its own right, but as a whole, I want to continue to grow and move forward.

I'm a traditional singer-songwriter. I have a more organic sound.

The music industry can feel wonderful, but it can also feel very cold.

I can very much relate to waking up inside of your life and saying to yourself, "How did I get here?"

At the end of the day, the only thing I ever wanted to feel was loved. So I think if I could give someone a piece of advice, it's really learn how to be kind to yourself. In all of our ugliness and all of our brokenness and our bad choices, to really learn to nurture that part of yourself that can be your own big sister in a way.

I think it's one of those things about live performance - anything goes, anything can happen, and you have to just be ready and able to roll with the punches.

I have been influenced by many different artists at many different stages of my life. Starting out, it was people like Elton John, Billy Joel, Ben Folds, and Fiona Apple. As I got older I got deeper into the work of bands like the Beatles, artists like Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Etta James, and Joni Mitchell.
