Writing songs is about trying to connect with people on a deeper spiritual level - but I'm not a fan of contemporary Christian music.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat. I don't tend to write for a particular band - you have to just write the songs and then let God into the room and let the music tell you what to do.
I think there are times when a song can be a spiritual experience - just making music, in general, is pretty much that.
Writing songs is really about writing. It's not about necessarily focusing on one particular style or making it one particular thing.
Writing songs out of my faith was a real natural progression. I grew up singing in my dad's choir and singing with my family. Christian music became the music that I identified myself with and was a way that I expressed my faith. Even at a public school I would take my Christian music in and play it for my friends.
I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.
My songs tend to be about love. It drives some of the greatest songs. I'm looking forward to seeing what people make of my writing.
I've always loved both writing and songwriting. The journey is fascinating to me.
My music has a very spiritual background, a sanctity that is almost like worship.
I don't feel I have to write deep and meaningful songs; they can be light and meaningless. It has to do with the place I am in my life, a really good place.
The songs keep on writing themselves, and I really love them. It's as close as I get to a religion.
