I have always been a singer/songwriter, and I was pushed in places I didn't want to do, like pop or top forty. I don't belong there.

I've been chased through airports with a screaming baby because the photographers are ruthless, and they want the picture.
If you lined up everyone I've ever dated, you wouldn't see any similarities.

I would describe my aesthetic as definitely personal and harmonious with an eclectic yet bohemian sensibility.
