CountryUnited States of America
I'm an American songwriter, and I write from a very American perspective, and so did the records I grew up listening to.
finding records taken time
I'm a late bloomer. It's taken me a long time to find my voice, and I think all the records I've made over the years, I was finding my voice, and that's part of the process.
bob huge love marley positive reggae
I'm a huge reggae fan. I want to go to Jamaica and make, like, Bob Marley 'One Love' positive songs. That's what the world needs.
ethic family great watching work
I have a great work ethic - from watching Lucille Ball, not necessarily my own family.
If I'm not crying while writing a song, I'm not doing it right.
amount bad behind certain felt hard hear joke known loose onstage people personal
I felt like onstage I have to have a certain amount of anonymity, like, personal anonymity, to feel loose and free. When you're up there with people who've known you for a decade, and you make a bad joke and you hear the cackling behind the drums, it's hard to get lost in the moment.
country music virtually
I find most modern country virtually unlistenable. I can't relate to the music or the lyrics.
fluid imagine music people record
I can't imagine how people will react to my music. For me, it's a really fluid process from one record to the next, but it's really up to the listener.
days favorite north road
My favorite days off on the road are typically nowhere, like Bismarck, North Dakota, and you find yourself in a mall, and you're like, 'This is awesome!'
kinda looks shining
It's kinda creepy, right? I think it looks like The Shining .
ends funny goes totally
It's funny how a song can start in your mind, and then when it goes through all the filters, it ends up in a totally different spot.
continued music saved sounds
It sounds cheesy, but music has saved me in a lot of ways. If I had just continued acting, I don't think I would be alive.
amazing assignment couple ended gives left songs written
It's pretty amazing to write under any circumstances when someone gives you an assignment to write a song, even if it doesn't get accepted. I've written songs a couple of times, some for Disney, that haven't actually ended up in their films, but then you're left with a song forever.
feeling gone good start
It's a good way to start the tour. Now that we know something has gone wrong, we're feeling optimistic.
