I went from living with my parents, to being signed out of high school. I have never, not had a boss, or someone else responsible for me. It is really cool as an artist to have that freedom.

I can't figure out why fans keep coming, maybe it's because they dig the songs.

My world on the road always ends up feeling really small which is ironic because that's when I'm seeing the most places and meeting the most people!

As an independent artist it is so easy to get caught up in websites, social media, merchandise, when I am going to put out an EP, fining a producer, finding a studio to record in and you have to remember at the end of the day you should be writing music.
