“There's definitely been times with songs of mine that I have written them and like literally a month after it was written and done it is out in the world just because I get very excited about it.”
“I'm constantly always writing and recording not only for myself… I'm a songwriter, producer, for other artists. I've written for K-pop, tons of brand and advertisement stuff.”
“I'm a very – when it comes to my stuff as an artist, and stuff that resonates for me – I have a very, like, visceral gut reaction to how some songs hit me if I'm going to release them. And sometimes it's instantaneous.”
“I'm really grateful because to be even the same breath of conversations; like, Gwen Stefani, who I grew up listening to in No Doubt and Sean Mendez too, I think is, I know everyone likes to look at him like he's a Vine superstar or something like that. What a great artist. So being in the same conversation or breath like that is truly, truly just a humbling moment.”
“A lot of songs that I write, it comes from a place of grief in a good way because grief is just love persisting.”
“I know in the age of TikTok and social media that there's this idea that we have to have the viral moment. We have to have the viral song, the one thing. And I'm like, that's not really how I grew up. And I think that our audience, even on social media, they don't have a short attention span. They truly are craving substance, but they're craving substance that matters to them. They're craving community.”
“I played with Jelly Roll when he was still just a rapper. I opened for Teddy Swims when he was the metal vocalist of a band from Atlanta, Georgia… I toured shows with the late Aaron Carter.”
“Through all of these tragedies, which I'm not really one to harp on it, but my songwriting has been a way for me to process it because sometimes I don't feel – I internalize things a lot and when bad things happen, I don't take care of myself and so my songs are a way for me to do just that.”
“If you fall in love with the journey, you'll never be disappointed.”
