The potential success that could come with signing with a major label didn’t quite outweigh how important it was for me to make my music the way I knew it needed to be made.

I get to travel around the world and meet all of these amazing people, and they’re singing my songs! And to me, that’s crazy.

I don’t have any rock star demeanor to me. I just can’t pull that off.

I think a lot of singer-songwriters get compared to each other, but I’d like to think that what I’m doing is special and specific to me.

If you’re looking to make a basic living selling and playing your music, the Internet is all you really need.

I’m really into good nutrition and keeping healthy! That said, I’m also addicted to candy – It’s my biggest weakness.

My dream artists to collaborate with are probably Cee Lo Green and Imogen Heap. They’re completely out of my genre but they’re both musical geniuses.

The first video I ever made, announcing ‘Crash the Super Bowl,’ I did about fifty takes and I wanted to die. It was awful.

I’m kind of feeling like I don’t mind being open with the random details of my life, like I’m at a coffee shop or my toe hurts or something, but obviously other more personal areas of life where I will just never really go there.

Since I don’t feel like I belong solely to any one of them I find that it makes me even more interested and open to other cultures as well. It’s also fun looking ethnically ambiguous because no one can quite put a finger on what I am and it’s very entertaining to me!
