I'm pretty down to earth, I always have been and though I am on a much different path than most 25 year olds, I feel like I have a bit of a double life. We will go on tour for weeks at a time, but when I come home, I feel like I am picking up where I left off.

I love being home, reading the paper in the morning and having a cup of coffee, doing laundry, going grocery shopping and running daily errands. For me, it's important to have that balance in my life.

Writing music obviously comes from being inspired by things, and big changes in your life, and relationships and growing older and being more independent.

If you want perfection or close to it...listen to the record.

For me I want to know everything that goes on with my business but at the end of the day I just want to live, experience, be inspired and create music.

I think people in general that don't surf, have a fascination with it. Its definitely much more than a sport or activity, its a way of life. There is a culture that surrounds it and I think people are intrigued by that.
