You make your music, then you try to find whatever audience is out there for it.

The audiences are there as a result of my history with the band but also as a result of my being able to reach people with a tune.

When playing any song in front of an audience, you're watching them experience it, and it changes. In a lot of ways, it's almost like the music is just the background buzz to what's happening between you and the audience in the room.

I don't think shoving my butt into people's faces will tell them anything about who I am. How is that connecting to your audience? What is that doing for your music?

Music is a performance and needs the audience.

I want people to listen to my music and everyone to feel included, and I think it's kind of working because all my audiences are always so colorful.

When you put the musical in front of an audience, you get to see how the audience reacts.

My audience is a huge part of my success, so I see us as a team. They send me tons of song requests every day. Some of the songs I've never heard before, but I listen to them and then pick the ones that I love.

I just want my music to involve an audience in what's taking place onscreen.

We try to connect with the audience as much as we can. We feel the energy from the audience, and it gives us so much joy and inspiration.
