As a musician I'm about expressing what's inside, and I think everyone has a song in them that they need to get out, whatever their gig is.

Too many times you come across lyrics that sound like you've heard them before or you can't really relate to them. And I think that I write songs that sound fresh and sensual in kind of a layered, lush way. But I also think that they are real, and that's why I wanted to call the record 'Inside Out.'

You never know what's going to play into what's worthy of getting encapsulated into a song.

I can't talk about my singing. I'm inside it. How can you describe something you're inside of?

Sometimes when you're writing a song and that song comes into your head, it definitely comes from somewhere, like a real experience.

What most people know about me, they know through my music. This time, I've tried to open that door as wide as possible. These songs are a giant step closer to who I really am and what my music is all about. Hence the title.

The music comes from within and outside. Within is the big mystery of life; we've all got it.

I just try to get inside the song and imagine what comes next.

Songs are really interesting in that way. Sometimes, they grow with you. Sometimes, you outgrow them.

You don't really know a song until you play it live.
