It's so easy to just rip someone's work apart.

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.

True bravery is being exactly who you are, imperfections included. Vulnerability is the most precious gift you can give.

Compare where you are to where you want to be, and you'll get nowhere

I'm happy to be working with all women.

I have been very fortunate to be a part of tours with other artists that have exposed me to new places that I've never been before. Once you discover something beautiful, you just want to keep coming back.

The struggle is to stay present enough when you're taking your next step forward that you're really making your most honest choices.
