There's really no "bad" people; there's just humans who are doing the best they can to figure life out. It's hard! We can all relate to that.

I feel like my songs are like diary entries for me. So I usually write about things that have happened to me specifically or sometimes it can be someone who's close to me.

I work a lot with men, and I work with wonderful men that I absolutely adore, but it's something that I'm now paying attention to - to seek out and make room for the talented women in all the technical fields and creative fields across the board.

I never played coffee shops; I just played a lot of coffee shop-sized venues. I took every venue I could get my hands on.

The women in my family are all super-emotional. The catchphrase in our family is 'Listen to my words, not my tears.'

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.

All my life I've tried to make everybody happy while I just hurt and hide, waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide.
