I'm from a middle class family. I didn't grow-up rich, but I didn't grow-up poor. Each guy has to stick to his own story.

I would hope when I do blow up that I can keep that same mentality. I think I will because I'm the kinda dude that no matter how far I take something, I always wanted to be higher.

I always use familiarity in my music, whether it's in my song writing or whatever.

Its just tryna impress the world and then realizing that, that doesn't even matter really, you gotta impress yourself.

I think my music has a big message, and I think when people really get into it, it does help their life sometimes. It inspires me; it's my favorite part about my job.

My good friend Josh Bibby happens to be a pro skier and has used my music in 2 international ski films.

When I wake up in the morning, I've got a coffee and I'm in my own home studio just chilling... I make happy music.
