I am definitely not listening to anything remotely close to my music, at least not on a nice day.

I am saying what comes out, because I'm really not a methodical writer. I'm not a good building writer, where you are like "well, I going to make a song today, and I think it will be a pop song." Some people are great at it and it's beautiful. If I am feeling musical and I pick up the guitar, usually something will eventually come out and I'll see where it goes.

I'm not Metallica, you can tell that I'm really not that angry in most of my songs.

The first time I ever found Paste I thought somebody just might have finally made a magazine using only the contents of my brain. I read it cover to cover every single month.

Music is generally important to blind people, and most of the blind people that I have come into contact, through my parents, music is very special to them.
