Notable Guest Quotes

“I’m very proud of what I have accomplished but I’m the kind of person where I’m  always looking at the next thing.  I always have my eyes on what I want to do next, my goals and my aspirations.”

“When I do look at the list, sometimes, of different songwriting competitions or awards that I’ve been lucky enough to receive it does kind of, it makes you feel like you’re on the right path.  Like maybe I’m not crazy and this is what I actually should be doing… It’s validating.”

“The joy is in the doing… I don’t think there’s so much joy in the result as compared to the actual trying to achieve it and the actual act of making music and recording something and doing a performance.”
