Maybe in music you're making an auditory environment and maybe you change your environment around you to suit your own way.

I believe that my music is just about feelings, and the style is just a side effect.

One of my big fears is people saying my songs are all starting to sound the same.

My style kinda comes from the music I listen to.

For the most part, I've been influenced by black singers and singers I couldn't sound like. Whenever I tried to do a dark note or a bent note, I would just sound like Hootie And The Blowfish.

If you have music that sounds like what you cover, people won't be able to differentiate who you are.

A lot of people seem to get preoccupied with what I'm wearing as opposed to the music.

I try and make all my songs sound different from each other while doing it in a way that's still me. It's a tricky thing to do.

A lot of people told me that I'm committing musical suicide with my sound.

When I look at the majority of my own songs they really came from my own sense of personal confusion or need to express some pain or beauty - they were coming from a universal and personal place.
