My songs are basically my diaries. Some of my best songwriting has come out of time when I've been going through a personal nightmare.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel like my songs are like diary entries for me. So I usually write about things that have happened to me specifically or sometimes it can be someone who's close to me.
I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.
My music is more than me writing a flashy soul song. They're heartfelt songs about my family and true stories. I have also songs that aren't personal, but just painting a picture. I don't like being put under labels, but my music is going to continue to stay classic and timeless forever.
Songwriting is the most terrifying thing to me, because you are really laying your heart out there.
I've always gravitated towards songwriting that happens easily and spontaneously, because those have always been my best songs.
All of my songs are autobiographical.
The whole point of music is being able to share your story. I've been songwriting for a long time, usually while on the road, as a way to get my feelings out.
Songwriting is my way of channeling my feelings and my thoughts. Not just mine, but the things I see, the people I care about. My head would explode if I didn't get some of that stuff out.
I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane.
My songs emerge from my life, or wherever they do, unbidden and unplanned and completely on a schedule of their own.
