There is a balance in between where you can still make art, but it does not have to be insular.

The ideal label for me would be this passive being with lots of money, but unfortunately it doesn't really work like that.

My Dad played the trombone and I think my Mom played the piano for about two years. It is very self-driven. They pushed me to do piano lessons, but they were never forceful about anything. They never pushed me to sing or anything, it was something that I did myself.

I feel like writing music is a great chance to create something that extends beyond yourself.

I sit at the piano for a couple of hours and tinker away until I get something. I am a nocturnal spirit, like an owl.

As long as I can sustain myself and as long as people like what I am doing and are happy to support me to continue, that is success in my eyes.

As cheesy as it sounds, I feel like I do write a lot, not necessarily for a message to be taken away. I feel like it is a little bit egotistical to be like, "I hope they are a better person after listening to my song."
