When I think about my career and how it all started, it really started with me getting to a point where I understood how to write songs that resonated with people.
I write very personal songs. Subject matter is usually derived from some internal struggle that I am having.
In many ways my writing is like therapy. It is my way of dealing with things.
I find that it is useless to worry about things I can't control and I can't control how many people come out tonight. All I can do is focus on writing the best songs I can write and performing the best I can perform.
The most important thing is writing songs that resonate and giving people a chance to listen to them.
