The world has changed a lot since I started making records.I used to go into a studio and there were songs there, chosen for me to see if I liked them. I wasn't encouraged to write.

It's taken me years to embrace the softer elements of who I am and let that shine some.

I didn't go to college.

What is happy? I think happy's in the moment. I don't think everybody can be happy all the time.

I have never had a problem letting a record go.Honestly when I'm making them, mixing them Honestly when I'm making them, mixing them.

I never sing a song more than twice because my fear of waning excitement for a piece is part of my troubles. I so rely on vibe, energy and emotions that the technical part occurs to me last.

I am a late starter. I like to go on into the night when it's quiet and everything has shut down. I find that's where music and minds open in the dark.
