I've always had a very clear vision of what I wanted to do.
From Leon Bridges
The heart of man will always be dark. There will always be evil people. The problem is that there is nothing we can humanly do to change them.
I'm totally open to exploring different types of music. I just have to always remember to be true to who I am.
People have this perception of soul music of somebody shouting.
I love the pioneers like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, but when I write music, it comes out in my own way.
When I started writing, I just wanted to do something different and creative. I first thought neo-soul was a good pathway for me, so I tried that out but realized I didn't want to be placed in that box.
The first time I shared my music and style with my mom, she said, 'Boy, you look like you came right out of the 1950s.'
I shop at thrift stores and consignment shoppes. I wear my clothes as is, and maybe get them dry cleaned whenever possible.
I never really thought about my music being universal. When I set out to write, it was just a feeling that felt good to me. I never thought about being able to reach everybody.
I think I'll always live in Fort Worth. It's great that I can now go anywhere I want to play music, but I love coming back here. I can roll down the streets and just reminisce.
