good means music spreading word
Music is a means of spreading the good word and spreading positivity and productivity. Those things speak to me.
artist definitely episode famous gave music
Music definitely gave me a focus. I was an artist without an outlet. Let's just say if I was not famous, I could have been infamous. I could've had my own episode of 'American Gangster.'
indie multiple pop pots
I feel like I'm a rock artist. I don't feel like I'm a pop artist. And I'm alt rock. I'm indie rock. I'm punk rock. Because it comes from the pots and pans. It's a lot of me, but I've got multiple personalities.
interests love man
For me as an artist, the expansiveness of my interests and my influences make me enigmatic. I think any man can be that way - if you love enough interesting things.
hard
It's hard to write a song about reality because reality doesn't rhyme.
brushing fan gently music seems underneath written
Ultimately, I'm a fan of music. I describe writing music sometimes as hieroglyphics, like, you know, excavating, gently brushing off these artifacts and discovering the song underneath it all. It seems as if it is already written in it.
I'm an artist, and I like the risk - I'm not in it for the sure things.
music time
I cry all the time. Music makes me cry.
famous hope
I think I'll always be famous. I just hope I don't become infamous.
cool fairly life oddball
I've been such an oddball my whole life, but I've always been cool and I've always dressed fairly smartly.
deeply life music opportunity saved voice
Music saved my life. The voice you hear, the soul, the pain, is that of a person who deeply, deeply, deeply appreciates the opportunity they've been given.
ambiguous time top
My style is ambiguous and lucid. I wish to be signified but not summed up. I don't want to have to go over the top each time.
Like most artists, I live out of a suitcase.
ask chance coming danger dynamic taking time walk
I'm all about taking chances. You have to ask yourself, if you're not taking any chances, are you actually even living? Every time you walk out of your door and you're out in the world, you take a chance on not coming back. That is the danger and the dynamic of being alive.
