Anything I sing is supposed to be genuine. It's not supposed to be make-believe or I'm making something for the crowd to jump or to hold up their hands.

I found a sound that people really liked - I found this basic concept and all I did was change the lyrics and the melody a little bit. My songs, if you listen to them, they're quite a lot alike, like Chuck Berry.

I just like traditional songs that come from an honest place, and they make you feel something and tell a story and they flow right.

I came to singing organically.

A lot of our tracks have sounded a lot better than I thought they would because of recording, mixing, and because I probably didn't hear it that way. I'm not a songwriter.

The best thing is when you hear somebody take your song and make something great of it.

I'm a songwriter who just wants to bring people great songs.

You can tell an honest artist from one who's just given all their songs.

My second record I used a producer, which was frustrating in a way, because I think a lot of the punky spirit and provocative nature of the lyrics didn't come across - the music was pretty.

The quality of a timeless song is that it's catchy, meaningful and relatable.
