When I turned 19 I kinda realized that I needed to write my own songs instead of singing songs written by other people.
Taking a song and bringing it to life in a professional recording studio can be an intimidating process at first; I know it certainly was for me. So to be able to offer support and guidance to an emerging singer-songwriter is a huge honor. I look forward to playing a role in such an exciting time of someone's songwriting career.
Writing is my therapy. My feelings build up inside of me and then I sit down and write a song.
What's really cool is to be able to write music and have people around the world [who are] able to relate to it. They tell you that [your] song helped them get through a divorce or they got married to that song. It makes me want to keep doing that for [myself] and for people.
Bob Marley is a huge influence. I love reggae music, but I also love the purpose of the songs he writes and the style of the music - it takes your worries away and makes you feel good, and I think that's what music is about.
Well, I started writing songs about three years ago when I learned to play the guitar, but I've been singing since I was eleven.
A great song should lift your heart, warm the soul and make you feel good.
I miss everything about you. Can't believe that I still want youAnd after all the things we've been through.
Talking with my friends and family every day helps keep me grounded and connected to home. They are the most important things to me.
I love to exercise outside in the fresh air and sun: hiking, swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and jogging.
Being a musician is a job - it is just a really fun one!
And when I perform on my own tour, I have to talk myself into going out on that stage every single night.
I love 'Breathe' with Taylor (Swift) but I've been performing 'Lucky' with Jason (MRaz) all over the world in the past year so I'm glad that's what won.
Wait a second Why should you care what they think of you? When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you? Do you like you? You don't have to try so hard, you don't have to give it all away, you just have to get up You don't have to change a single thing.
