I feel there must be an enormous amount of really talented songwriters out there who can't sing.

There are a lot of unseen elements to having a successful singing career.

My vocal ability is very limited, but I'm fortunate in that I can write the songs around my vocal limitations.

Traditionally, songwriters can't sing. And that holds true in my case, also.

Probably most successful songwriters have an innate songwriting ability.

I always knew I wanted to be a musician, and I always knew I wanted to write, 'cause the people I was listening to all wrote. I never thought it was an option to sing anyone else's songs.

Some people can't sing - like honestly - but they're famous anyway, and they might be famous for being an artist, which is completely different from being a singer.

You know, there's still a lot of great songwriters out there who hand in songs. And there's a lot of brilliant singers and performers out there who sing other people's words. I enjoy doing both.

I mean, I sing. But I don't think I'm a good enough singer to do any kind of musical.

I think some people just have an innate musical ability, and I'm lucky enough to be one of those people.
