"I don't think that anyone's born with a magical talent, but that's just my opinion, and if you are then I respect that and I wish I was you."
"I truly believe that you've never perfected anything and you're always learning... There's always someone better than you so I'm always learning... how to be better at what I want to be in all aspects of my life."
"To grow your social media following, contrary to what a lot of people think, it's not easy. It's a lot of hard work, putting yourself out there and trying to grow your profile as an artist, it's very difficult."
"Being consistent is very important. I try to tweet every single day."
"You just gotta show up. That's what you gotta do is you gotta go out there and work hard and promote yourself and promote your music."
"We've been working extremely hard for the past two years and I think we're really seeing some results for all our hard work that we're putting into this. My team and I, we, put countless hours. Our whole lives are into this. This is what we really want to do."
"I put myself out there a lot on YouTube. But really it was ReverbNation that was really the platform that helped my manager discover me."
"The writing aspect of it is very important. And that's really where I get to show my personality. It shows though my music."
