I always surprise myself with my voice. A lot of people don't get it, and they're like, 'You can't sing. Stop. What are you doing?' And it's funny to hear a lot people say I sing in falsetto because it's not falsetto - that's my voice.
Those old Appalachian singers use a falsetto sometimes. They can change their voices to sound high or low or really scratchy. When you're singing, usually you're trying to express some kind of pain or joy. I think that voice allows me to do a lot more of that.
So those are the tools that I've learned, and getting this falsetto voice that I never knew I had. There have been a few honest musical breakthrough moments that kicked me up a notch.
The falsetto stuff, it must be a reaction to the black gospel singers that I really enjoy listening to.
