All I try to do is to write music that feels meaningful to me, that has commitment and passion behind it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The more I do in my life, the more I can write music about new experiences.
My message to anyone who's afraid that they can't write music when they're happy is 'Just trust the passion.' The passion can write a lot of things.
I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.
You're always going to write and draw inspiration from things that you're feeling, things that you've felt. It's kind of impossible not to unless you're writing a song and there's an exact scenario that you're trying to write a song for.
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.
When I'm writing a record, I kind of don't listen to much music. Just because I want to be inspired solely on the emotion; just based on how it feels.
Writing music is just something that I was born to do.
It's hard to write music for specific things, because I'm always writing just to write.
I write music because I love it. Sometimes more than anything in the world.
For me, songwriting is something I have to do ritually. I don't just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day.
