The song 'Innocent' is a song that I wrote about something that really, really emotionally impacted me.

As an artist, you never want to write the same song again, you always want to challenge yourself to writing in a different way.

What I've learned is that music affects the way you feel. A song can change someone's life.

Writing songs has a therapeutic effect, and it either kills off love or wins the heart of the lover.

I hope people learn the power of vulnerability through my songs. I think vulnerability can save the world. Empathy helps people connect with each other.

I feel the emotion that life conjures up and the songs I write get me closer to my feelings and realising who I am. It's a natural process.

The songs come from a vulnerable place, but expressing that part of yourself can also make you feel fearless.

As the writer, you're always a presence in the song. If you get close to what human beings are like, you're writing about common experience. We all do much the same things, so if you nail somebody, then you've also nailed yourself.

Sometimes it's nice to have a song that can be taken more then one way, so it can be interpreted differently.

You know, I've sung a lot of emotional songs in my life, but when you're writing it yourself, it's very difficult to decide what to reveal.
