When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.

I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.

A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.

My first two records are so simply constructed. The reason isn't because I wanted to make simple music. It's because I don't really have the chops.

It's true, there's a lot of melancholy in my music. I don't know why, I'm not a melancholy person. I've always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat.
