The fact I have an education forms my lyrical style, I'm sure. I studied the social sciences, history, stuff like that. I have an interest in politics, which maybe works its way into the songs in small, subtle ways.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always start with the music and then try to figure out what I want to write about lyrically.
When I look at the arc of my career, my focus is on lyricism, right? I own that.
Education, for me, has helped me in my music.
I'm lyrically driven, I'm not musically driven.
My music is pretty versatile; I have a lot of genres and styles. I don't think I should be pigeonholed into one thing. So we'll see where my career goes.
I'm really passionate about music.
I'm a huge fan of music in schools and music education because that's how I grew up.
I have a degree in music, yeah, from the University of Montana. I studied voice and composition and conducting and all that.
If I were to categorize what I sing, I have many different influences, and a lot of them are from back in time.
My skills are musical, not lyrical.
