With most of the songs and music that I've composed, irrespective of the myriad videos made, I was always careful not to overly define the experience, leaving room for people to internalize things for themselves, making their experience more integral.

Being on the road is a great habitat for creating new music because there's so many different experiences.

For me, in songwriting, I have a route I can take. Maybe there's some forks, I can go this way, this way. But I know those roads. I still have the experience behind me.

I think that's my gift in this world is to put experience into music.

I've always loved both writing and songwriting. The journey is fascinating to me.

Songwriting isn't always something that's directly proportionate to the experience.

There are always new things to experience, internalize then write about. This process is ongoing with me. It never stops. The opportunity to reach new audiences with all of the music that we have made is thrilling.

Everything starts and ends with the song, and working with writers and really learning their process and craft was an invaluable experience.

The whole point of music is being able to share your story. I've been songwriting for a long time, usually while on the road, as a way to get my feelings out.

I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.
