I Want To Make A Better Record

There's A Lot Of Hurry Up And Wait. But It Gives You Time To Write A Song.

At The End Of The Day, There's Only A Few Major Stars In The Music Business, And Then There's All These People That Are Aspiring To Be That.

My Family Is Very Musical, I Was Surrounded By It. And From Four Years Old I Was The One That Asked My Mother Could I Take Piano Lessons... It Wasn't Forced On Me. It Was Something I Wanted To Do. And Ever Since, I've Never Stopped, I've Never Stopped Playing Music. I Never Went Through A Period Where I Didn't Want To Do It.

I Don't Like Going To Football Games. I Like Watching Them On Television. When You Go To A Game, It's Hard To Focus. There's So Much Going On, And It's Cold. I'd Rather Sit And Watch It And Get Replays And Commentary.

I Have A Structured Songwriting Process. I Start With The Music And Try To Come Up With Musical Ideas, Then The Melody, Then The Hook, And The Lyrics Come Last. Some People Start With The Lyrics First Because They Know What They Want To Talk About And They Just Write A Whole Bunch Of Lyrical Ideas, But For Me The Music Tells Me What To Talk About.
