I'm a traditional singer-songwriter. I have a more organic sound.

I think I have some anger-management issues, and they end up coming out in these passive-aggressive songs that sound happy.

In an age of immediacy the idea of waiting sounds hopelessly outdated. But that said, there is something to be said about anticipation...

My hairstylist taught me a trick for my hair. You section off your hair and put them up in these crazy little knots and then it looks like you curled your hair. It's saved me so much time 'cause on the road you don't have time or plugs to plug your curling iron in.

I have been influenced by many different artists at many different stages of my life. Starting out, it was people like Elton John, Billy Joel, Ben Folds, and Fiona Apple. As I got older I got deeper into the work of bands like the Beatles, artists like Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Etta James, and Joni Mitchell.

But you neither friend nor foe, though I can't seem to let you go, the one thing that I still know is that your keeping me DOWN!
