When I'm not touring, I hardly ever leave my house. Part of it is I get to do what I'm most passionate about, which is work on music and make new songs.

I've always written pop songs. I tend to take inspiration from more experimental genres, like ambient music, but at the root of the song, it's verse-chorus-verse.

I want people to make sense of what I'm talking about.

Over a year's time, I felt like I squeezed in five years of touring experience, which was a really huge help moving forward.

One of the great things about music is how it can take you places.

For me personally, I'm always writing from what's happening in my emotional life. Even without thinking about it a lot of the time, it comes out in the songs that I'm writing.
