I actually write more on guitar than I do on piano.

I'm very American.

I love slow music.

In college I had a weekend gig at a restaurant, a solo thing that was the best practice I could have ever had. That’s where I learned to coordinate my singing and my piano playing.

I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don’t want to do the same thing all the time.

I don’t actually have a lot of discipline. I’ve worked hard at music. But I feel like you know, I felt like kind of natural at it. I always had a knack for it.

I like records that flow really well and you don’t have to skip around because there’s lot of different jumps.

I’m not planning to jump off a bridge with no bungee.

It’s true, there’s a lot of melancholy in my music. I don’t know why, I’m not a melancholy person. I’ve always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat.

There’s a lot of personal stuff that can go into songwriting but there’s also a lot of dramatization and fictionalization. You have to do that to make a good song.
