I have to be involved. Whether it's me writing by myself or with other people, I definitely want to have my hand in the creative process. That's part of why I got into music in the first place.

I'm a songwriter; that's where it starts. I love writing with someone that shares that same feeling of accomplishment. I'll play music for my fans as long as they'll listen, but I fancy myself as a writer first.

I enjoy the collaboration. I always envied people in bands who got to have that interaction. I've done so many albums where I've been in the studio for 14 hours a day for six months just trying to come up with things on my own. It's a nice change helping other people with their music and not being all about what I'm trying to do myself.

I like to collaborate on my music. The creative process is fun, and you get a lot of ideas from having discussions about it. Ultimately, the final decision is mine.

I tend to start with a full set of lyrics, and then my producer, Joel Little, and I work on the music collaboratively.

I kind of make music where and when I can, and I guess that's why I collaborate so much.

Music is just a really fun hobby that I do, because I'm actually really good about writing songs and producing. People don't realize this, but I am an excellent writer for artists.

I'm involved in all things musical. It's all consuming, even if it doesn't necessarily manifest as a record or a concert.

It is always an honor to work with those that share your passion for music and just enjoy making great music.

I've always been a fan of just writing songs and making music.
