“What makes me unique, I feel in my songwriting is all of the amazing musical influences that I've had over the years.
“There were about 30 songs I'd say that I originally was kind of choosing from with this love song concept and then it narrowed down significantly. And then I wrote new stuff too for kind of that final presentation.”
“I definitely had to get over my imposter syndrome because it felt like way too big of a role for me to play and one that I had never done, especially for a full-length record. But I had really great people cheering me on and guiding me and helping… And so, I started getting really nerdy into production and then listening to music differently and then just spending hours and hours and hours on Logic messing around.”
“I had so many songs for this record. I decided to record two more songs. And then I was like, ‘What if these were bonus tracks only available on vinyl? To make it kind of like this extra special, you know, make people feel like they're really getting the insider view of the whole record and all this bonus material’.”
“I do mostly solo writing… But my solo writing process, it's always been my form of therapy. And it's like when I feel like there's something stuck in me, it's usually that I need to write a song.”
“I always feel like I'm – at least for the first verse and chorus – when I'm in my flow zone, I don't feel like I'm writing. I feel like something else is writing through me.”
“I feel like a lot of my best inspiration is when I get out of my own way.”
“I kind of like that about what I've created because it is a bit hard to define what genre I am and what other artists exactly I sound like.”
“By the time I was 15, I was writing a lot of my own music, and I was getting more proficient at the piano. And so, I started my own band. And then we started playing around… So yeah, I kind of had different bands throughout high school and then I ended up going to college for music and studying at Webster University. And I got into jazz there.”
“The students that I am fed by the most are the ones who are hungry to learn, and they want to become artists.”
