“It all comes down to being able to set aside your pride and your ego and being able to recognize a really great song.”
“I really wanna let people into my life and I wanna get to know them and I want them to be part of what I’m doing and know the reasons why I’m doing it.”
“I think a lot of things for me just clicked earlier this year and after watching some people and what they do I became inspired.”
