I look at performance clothes as setting the mood for the whole show. ”

I feel very short-attention span for like accomplishment. It's like 'oh that felt really good' and then it's kind of like an immediate emptiness of I need to make something else - I don't like to dwell on things too long. ”

I remember seeing an interview from the Bee Gees and they were like, 'The biggest competition to the Bee Gees is the Bee Gees.' They just kept trying to top themselves and write better songs, and I'm just always trying to do that. ”

My parents played the Bee Gees; Earth, Wind & Fire; Michael Jackson. The best pop music to infiltrate a child's mind. ”

I don't really know what emotions are going to come out in songs when I'm writing them until I step back and listen to them as a whole. ”

I try to challenge myself. ”

I'm influenced by a lot of different genres of music. So I'm constantly trying to rework production and make things interesting in the live show and on records. ”

My first CD started as a studio project and I record everything with one other guy, so I didn't have a band. That's kind of how I like to do it, though. I like to create it with one other person, this guy, Tommy English, who produces everything. And then I go out on the road with a band who interprets it live. ”

I do like how the music can be misunderstood. ”

That's the worst and best thing about being in the studio, feeling completely lost and not knowing how to put the final touch on something. But once you find it, there's nothing like that feeling. ”
