I Am Blessed Beyond Belief.

I Write For Myself. I Don't Write Because I Have A Record Coming Out. I Write Because I Want To. I Need To.

I've Always Been Shy, But I See That As A Good Thing Because It Kept Me Focused On Music. When I Was In Seventh Grade, I Asked My Parents For A Mobile Recording System For Christmas, And I Got It. I Didn't Come Out Of My Room For Years After That. I'd Get Invited To The Movies And I'd Say, 'i'm Gonna Finish A Couple Of Demos.'

When I Was 13 Or 14, I Took Seven Months Off From Touring. I Did A Lot Of Weekend Gigs In Louisiana. We Have Fairs And Festivals Every Weekend. But I Took Seven Months Off. That's When I Really Started Digging Deep. I Wrote A Couple Songs That Year That I Still Play Every Now And Then For People.

Yes, I Did Lock Myself In My Room For About Two Years And Write Some Songs And Things Like That. But I Don't Feel Like I Missed Out On A Whole Lot.

Singing Live Is My Favorite. When People Sing Along To Your Songs, The Circle Is Complete.
