Quote
“Songwriting is an art, one I have not mastered. There are many styles and ideas for writing a good song, my best songs are personal and severely honest. I am the main artist for my songs and I have to sing these songs night after night. If the words are dishonest or thrown together, I won’t be able to sing them with intention. I try to write songs that I know I can sing with conviction.”
