I use music and mantras that transform my thoughts from the negative to the positive. If I'm thinking the world is a horrible place, I can transform my life by saying, 'I won't give up', 'I won't worry my life away' and 'I won't hesitate no more', using these lyrics to change my experience. That is, I believe, what makes me seem like a positive person.
Traveling has a major impact on what I do, cause all over the world I'm meeting all kinds of people. And relationships is the second major impact that I have. I just enjoy the variety that the world has to offer.
Just take it easy and celebrate the malleable reality. You see, nothing is ever at is seems, yeah this life is but a dream.
I love surprises and coincidences. I love them even more when I don't pass them off as luck, but rather recognize them as a sign that my life's course is right on track.
Listen to the Music of the Moment, people....Dance and Sing!
I've been fortunate to view the world as if Tom Cruise is constantly walking in front of me on his way across a tarmac before an aerial dogfight. I'm speaking cinematically here. The homoeroticism was an accident that I wont dismiss.
I've been compared to people since the beginning. When you're starting out, you need a comparison so people will understand you right away.
My dad is still the only Mraz in the Mechanicsville phone book, so he's getting calls from girls to see if I'm home!
I would enjoy doing what cats do: singing, sleeping, and licking my nuts.
I didn't want to be a headshot and get a chance to go compete to sing-that's not me.
My days could be described as an ever changing palette of blues, greens, browns, and golds. Mostly because of surfing and garden-gazing. On tour, the colors are desaturated by florescent lights and dull grey carpets.
I had never made a record before, so I didn't know anything about it. I don't know anything about knobs, frequencies, tones.
Free downloads is something that I like to do its just not as publicised and it is the future of music.
The studio and road both have their charms. The studio allows me to be a mad scientist and the tour lets me feel like James Bond.
