Prose poetry is not set to a melody or music so there's something freeing about it.

A true measure of success is just to work hard and get my music out there and just be myself and be real.

I listen to a pretty wide variety of albums so as to get influenced by nothing particular.

People can smell the bullshit and see through the curtains. People know when something's real and when something isn't, and when some dude really means what he's saying or singing, or when he doesn't.

I think especially since going solo it's pretty clear that I'm completely being myself.

Writing a great song is not a simple task, but I feel like when everything comes together and you sing it in a certain way that no-one else can sing it, when it's written in a certain way that's perfect for the way that you're performing it, that those are the things that make a song great.

I'm a goof. I talk too much. I tell stories. I tell cheesy Dad jokes. I'm theatrical and I'll mix things up and I'll surprise people. Those are the things that I just do because that's who I am.
