“I've written over 400 songs and so some of them I actually don't remember exactly where I was when I wrote it.”
“I have always been more of an introvert than an extrovert… And sometimes I just didn't feel like I fit in. And also, I had a hard time sharing my emotions… I had trouble being vulnerable… it was more comfortable for me to keep my feelings inside.”
“I started writing songs when I was 9. The first song I wrote was a rap song… And I started playing guitar when I was 9 as well, and then piano when I was 10.”
“I love songwriting so much. It's honestly like my favorite thing to do.”
“I feel, if I try to perfect it too soon, I get too much in my head, and I get more on the left side of my brain and not the right side where the creativity is. So, I always try to keep it like, okay, let me just see what my heart wants to write today.”
“Songwriting is kind of like my natural thing to do. If I have any free time, I would just write a song. So, I'm not concerned about having to fit it in.”
“(America’s Got Talent) vocal coach… said, I guess a lot of singers actually go on a treadmill and run and sing at the same time, just to kind of practice being able to stabilize your voice if it’s shaking.”
“I write all my songs just for the impact that it might have on people.”
“I wake up probably naturally around seven, and I love to, first, I have a little journal, I have a gratitude journal, and I’ll write like three things I’m grateful for and a positive affirmation or something every day. Wherever I wake up, just the first thing that comes in my head, and then I’ll do a meditation most days… which is really relaxing and I’ll read a book. I read a lot of non-fiction books, kind of like those self-help books mostly or spirituality books, just things that are good for the soul and kind of teach me something.”
“I started street performing as well at around 14 years old. I performed at Venice Beach, street performed. I was a regular street performer at Pier 39 in San Francisco.”
