I can relate to soul, R&B... whatever people want to call me is fine. I just hope it makes them feel something.
Every time I write a song I feel really lucky and kind of surprised. Not surprised that I wrote it, but just surprised that things exist that you don't know about.
I grew up working at a record store and listening to vinyl. Even if it's side A and B, there's always this continuity that really turned me on about music.
Songwriting isn't always something that's directly proportionate to the experience.
I don't know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don't really need to.
I don't really hang out with a lot of celebrities.
