approach matter opposed
If you're 100% yourself, then you're going to be different no matter what. I have this self-honesty approach as opposed to an ego that a lot of musicians put up. I can be myself, and that's just enough to stand out.
I was always the tallest kid in my class.
people respect
I think as long as you wear your imperfections on your sleeve, people respect it more.
acoustic added fingers main mandolin music record riffs songs texture wrote
I wrote all my songs on my main instruments, and the songs I would record in my bedroom were just acoustic guitar, mandolin, and sometimes bass. I really like the texture the mandolin added to my music, but my fingers were too big to play it... I could only do little riffs and whatever.
ahead boring fourth funny knew mp3 music player time
When you're from a boring town, you have to find things to do. It's funny: I always knew I wanted to make music, so I was always kind of ahead of my peers. I had an MP3 player by the time I was in the fourth grade.

I was inspired to make music since I was 7 because my aunt is a songwriter.
move music release
My plan was to release a tape, move to Arkansas, live on a farm, and make music like Bon Iver.
I have absolutely no ambition. My goal has already been exceeded.
I didn't go to prom because I was too punk.
felt fit
I always say I never felt 'latched' to a gender. I just kind of always felt like myself, and I never felt like I had to do certain things or be a certain way to fit into a certain mold.
amazing art create figure job mad people shakes though
I always find it amazing that people get mad because they can't figure out my gender. Even though my only job here is to create art, I think being a genderless figure... it shakes people. And when that happens, it makes me feel like I'm doing my job.
falsetto funny hear people sing
I always surprise myself with my voice. A lot of people don't get it, and they're like, 'You can't sing. Stop. What are you doing?' And it's funny to hear a lot people say I sing in falsetto because it's not falsetto - that's my voice.
baritone duet hit range sing soprano time
I can hit baritone notes, and I can sing in the soprano range if I wanted to. I did this thing a long time ago where I did a duet with myself. I sound like two different people.
