As A Musician, You Never Understand Why

One Of The Things That's Influenced Me Musically Was My Experience At Brown University. I Was Surrounded By Musicians That I Really Admired, And Felt Challenged To Come Up With Music, Lyrics, And Recordings That Stood Up To The Expectations Of Those Musicians And Myself.

I Don't Think I Can Tell Any Stories About How I Lived In A Van In Alaska. I Grew Up In The Suburbs, I Even Had My Own Room. We Weren't Poor. Everything Was Very Normal.

Again, I'm Used To Speaking To A Lot Of People; I Have A Lot Of Friends And Family, And I Perform Music And Speak In Front Of A Lot Of Crowds. So I Share With People Already A Lot In My Life.

I Learn So Much From Writing With Other Musicians, Asking Questions About Their Playing Style And Gear, And Hanging Out, Too.

The Smell Of Roses, My Children's Bright Eyes And Smiles, Laughing With My Husband, Walking On The Beach, Using My Hands To Do Crafts Or Play Guitar, Brainstorming, And Drinking Coffee, Really Good Coffee.
