There was nothing more I wanted to do than to see my dad react well to my music. I still do. I send him my demos all the time. ”

One of my best friends was gay and Mormon, and I saw how conflicted he was. It was the first time my faith didn't align with my mind and heart and the first time I was being taught something at church that I was like, 'Hey, this doesn't seem right.' ”

I've had so many parents ask me, 'So when should you talk about what it means to be gay or LGBTQ with a child?' I don't think there's any age that's too young. ”

My dad is my biggest source of inspiration. He's a lawyer, and when he'd get home, we always sat down and listened to music. ”
