Notable Guest Quotes

"When I write songs, I never plan it out.  I start with a blank piece of paper and I sit at the piano and I just write what organically comes out."

"I usually work with a producer, and I've been really lucky that I've worked with Grammy Award-winning producers and the best musicians that you can find and in really beautiful recording studios."

"Then the pandemic hit and then I realized that I would have to produce this album on my own.  And at first, I didn't know if I could do it, and then once I started, I really fell in love with the whole process of producing."

"I always try to stay in a state of gratitude for whatever's happening in life."

"When you're in 432 (hz) frequency, which is what the album is in, it connects you to your intuition and it opens up your heart chakra and it makes you feel really calm so that you can hear the truth and you can find your way in life."

"I have been really lucky and fortunate that my fans, they are so generous.  So, sometimes I get fifty dollars per album, sometimes I've gotten a hundred dollars.  And it really blows me away that that happens."

"Kickstarter is wonderful.  It really depends on the people who want to support you.  And so no matter which platform, I think, you use for crowdfunding, it's going to be up to a group of people who are excited that you're releasing something into the world, whether it's an album or a product.  And I've been lucky that I have a group of people that really support me on a deep level."

"There's a lot of freedom that I've felt, being an independent singer songwriter and I think that there's things in life that are priceless, and I think freedom is one of those things.  When you have freedom and you can create with freedom and you are doing your own artistry, I think that's priceless."

"I think that when you're a major label artist, you have so many fans that you can't really maybe have the intimate connection as an independent singer songwriter does and that's what I really have loved the most.  I have a real connection."

"I knew, through thick and thin, through good times and bad times, I'm going to marry music.  This is what I love."

"I feel like I'm a servant to music, that, it's such an honor to create music.  So, I don't like to manipulate it.  I don't like to sit down and say, 'Okay, I'm going to write a hit song' ... I really want to, kind of, serve music."

"I notice that a lot of people quit and they stop doing their art when they get stuck in their ego because they're comparing themselves to other people.  And so, when you're doing music or any creation, I think it's just important to not compare yourself and to remember why you're doing it."
