I actually found not having a routine was inspiration.

Follow an exercise routine in which there is no routine. Whenever something becomes routine, you don't pay attention to it anymore. I rarely do the same routine twice which keeps me interested and focused.

I struggled with the pressure of having the successful record after the first record. Second album syndrome. I'm living proof; it's very real.

Music is a job, but I figured out ways to get my mind into a place where I could be creative. I actually discovered meditation. It enabled me to clear my mind of all the drama and focus on the music.

You can be a beacon of inspiration by doing no more than your daily routine. And, yes, it must be a different routine than what you have now.

I'd like to actually work with a lot of other people, and whether it's someone who is completely unknown who I love and think is a talent, maybe I'll work with them, or, like, maybe I'll work with some of the biggest pop stars and write music for them.
