"As an artist and a songwriter it's so important to have the right team around you."
"It's all about timing and it's all about finding the right foundation of when you're going to release new music and really figuring out when and how you should be releasing stuff. And it's not always smart to be rushing and just throwing everything out there."
"It's therapy and that's where you get your best inspiration is from your own personal life events and journeys, and music has always been a great outlet for that."
"No matter what, when I go into a song - writing a song - I don't like to have expectations as far as, like, 'This has to be for this.' Obviously we have dreams and goals, like, we want the best thing for the song. But I always just try and go into a song with the goal of, like, let's just make this a great piece of music."
"I think a lot of making something great is the vulnerability and the honesty, because that's what people connect with."
"That's the beauty with music and songwriting; there's no rules and you can do anything you want, especially when it's yours."
"For me, being able to use music as a platform to create awareness was something that instantly became very important to me and I became very passionate about wanting to use my music as a way to educate people and to bring people together and to promote self love and positivity."
"When I was (age) 12 I started writing songs and I was playing around on the piano and I learned a lot about chords and just how to play chords, just through YouTube."
"All of my friends were going off to college and university, and, I knew that music was really the route that I was going to be happy taking. So, I didn't go to college. I instead ended up driving to Nashville from Dundas (Ontario)."
"I love referring to my songs as my little babies, 'cause you have a personal connection with each and every one of them and you just want all of them to flourish and to thrive and to do as well as they can."
"When you get asked to come on and write for a project for different TV shows... I have to put my artist self aside sometimes, and I have to really focus on, okay, what serves this scene or what serves this TV show best. And it's a great challenge and I love that because I think it improves me as a songwriter, and also just being able to get my music in front of a new audience, it's really fun and it's gratifying."
