I'm not religious, but I am spiritual and I am creating my own practice.

When I was a kid, I always wanted to go to Europe, to go to Africa, to go traveling.

I feel a lot of cities are like, you go and you are trying to do your art, and there are so many other artists there who are so brilliant. And it's kind of like they stomp on the scene, and they are like, "You're not already Picasso? Get the hell out of here!" And Memphis is like, "Well, you'll get there one day!"

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.

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.

I just love music, and I absorbed what I love.
