I'm the perfect amount of guarded. I don't reveal too much, and I never reveal who the songs are about. They are real life. People get that. I date a lot of musicians and they do the same thing. People that work with me - who I write about too - they get it. It's my creative outlet, my therapy.

I remain close to my people. I keep singing with them.

The people who I grew up making music with, we've all grown up and become successful in different ways. My manager supported me since I was 16 and believed in me as a musician. He's been there since Day 1, and there's so much to be said about doing something with people that you love.

As a songwriter, if you can touch people and make them feel a little less alone in the world, then you've done your job.

I've always written songs, even when I wasn't doing anything with my personal life in music.

My life is not separate from my music, you know? It's not like a day job that I leave and go home. It's who I am as a person and how I am trying to grow, come closer to God, be a better person.

I like working with other people but I'm not a songwriter, I'm a producer.

Throughout the course of my life, I've been blessed to work with extremely talented people.

I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.

I always saw myself as a singer-songwriter, a solo-artist, that's why working with other artists was never satisfying for me.
