I write most of my own lyrics for my album and I am helping to produce some of the songs as well.

I write other people songs. Recirculate it. It's the music business.

Even though other people wrote my songs I put my stamp on them. I have a connection, but there is no truer connection than an artists and their own song.

I'll have to get people to write songs for me right now until my own writing comes around.

Every single one of the guys that I've written songs about has been tracked down on MySpace by my fans.

When you make music, you're in really direct contact with your fans out there, so you hear all kinds of stories.

As a singer, I just want to try to honor what the writers create - and as someone who's trying to write songs, I just hope I can stand in their company and not embarrass myself.

I kind of just stumbled into producing. It was more that I was a writer, and the only way you were going to get your songs done was to do them yourself.

I started writing music when I was 15 in my bedroom, and I'd post them on MySpace, and from there it shifted to doing covers on YouTube and building my Twitter.

Not to take anything away from artists who don't write their own songs, but it's always been important to me to make sure it's my story.
