To enjoy my music, you need depth and emotionality.

I try to focus on the melodies and try to make everything else minimal. The melody and the lyrics are most important to me.

I don't think you get to good writing unless you expose yourself and your feelings. Deep songs don't come from the surface; they come from the deep down. The poetry and the songs that you are suppose to write, I believe are in your heart.

Music has its own depths, and I let it take me where it takes me, even if it means stripping all my clothes off.

I thought I knew a lot about music. Then you start digging and the deeper you go, the more there is.

I don't feel I have to write deep and meaningful songs; they can be light and meaningless. It has to do with the place I am in my life, a really good place.

Lyrics can be important, but ultimately, what pulls people in on a song is melody and the tracks and the way music feels.

I think my music generally transcends a lot of genres.

My songs are all about celebrating poignant music. While some of them focus on fun and revelry, they are fortunately backed by powerful lyrics. Put together, the lyrics, tune and my voice strive to take the songs to the next level.

We like to categorize things into showy things and deep things, you know, and things that are high music - important music - and shallow music. And I think that's dangerous, because there's often a mix of both.
