Music helps me tell my story. That's where I can really be heard. But there's so much focus on the things that aren't music.

I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.

The more I do in my life, the more I can write music about new experiences.

For me, I write some songs that are really important to me, and I've got some feedback where some of them help folks and inspire people.

I like to write songs about what's happening, what I see around me and what I hear. Everyday life. Someone may be talking to me and I may take it from that.

All I try to do is to write music that feels meaningful to me, that has commitment and passion behind it.

Writing is my therapy. My feelings build up inside of me and then I sit down and write a song.

Writing for yourself is like exposing your diary. It can be a little embarrassing at times, but if it helps somebody get through the day just by hearing a song, it's well worth it.

My music does say a lot about me and what I went through. All the songs are about things I have gone through and what I am thinking. I wrote about my family, friends and boys, of course, and about life.

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.
