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.

I've been really lucky to have a lot of cool people and to be around a lot of cool celebrities that I've got to learn from.

Getting on stage, for me, was a huge thing when I first started. And back in high school, everyone was in rock bands and I was a singer/songwriter. It just seems kind of lame.

I was a good student. My mom is a teacher, and her side of the family is all teachers. She put a big emphasis on getting good grades.

My family was all musicians. We jam all the time.
