I must stay true to myself and take my own path all the way.

I try to write down every song that comes to me, even though I know that every song that comes to me isnt a song that I need to sing.

My challenges have not been around music. My hardest thing in music was just sitting down and teaching myself how to play and believing in myself.

They're all personal and self-created challenges that I think I've overcome within myself. Being confident enough to get on stage and play, things like that.

The point is to raise your voice and be heard to God. You really are just celebrating being in the presence of other people that believe the same things you believe.

I love to read things that have moral messages, and I love to hear stories where it's not just a hook, you have to follow the story, you have to listen to the message of the song, and get it and use it in your everyday life.

Im constantly being inspired by the old days and taking things from the past and allowing them to lift me up where I am now.
