“I have an appreciation for life more and I don’t take anything for granted.”
“My vocal elasticity changed. My range changed and I had all these new resonances and stuff, like I could sing polyphonics, like full chords, after that, and through more range than a piano, which I never had access to before.”
“Covid, like, I’ve caught every strain so far ‘cause I travel all the time, even with, like, masking and vaccinations and recent testing, there’s always a chance that something slips through and, yeah, three, I’ve caught every strain, so, it’s like Pokémon, like, gotta catch ‘em all. And I absolutely almost died when I had the Delta (strain).”
“I was basically in bed for, like, two or three years… I couldn’t really talk. I had a little notepad or I’d use a phone and I’d write notes to people and give them.”
“I still write by myself today. And the only time I’ve ever written collaboratively was with my music manager’s daughter and with Broadway playwright and Disney composer Mark Schoenfeld, who, we wrote a song recently specifically for the purpose of being licensed for films and TV and to shop around to his label friends.”
“My brain sees music as, like, a puzzle and like shapes and colors… I don’t really see it in sounds or hear it in sounds. It’s just pieces that fit together.”
“I’ve been writing since I was a little kid; lyrics, poetry, books, music, all that kind of thing.”
“There was an opera singer that did a reaction video to one of my festival performances and she was like, ‘You’re an alien’!”
“I love playing all over the world and discovering new places and people. I love the crowds in South America and Europe. Australia is beautiful, Japan, everywhere, I mean, there’s always something to be experienced and something to be learned.”
“I don’t think I deserve anything, I work for everything.”
