All The Musicians That I Know Want

The Bravest Thing I Ever Did Was Continuing My Life When I Wanted To Die.

When I First Started, I Wrote Some Songs With Linda Perry. She's So Instrumental In A Lot Of Artist's Lives, Listening To You And Then Helping You Write Songs That Are You, That Bring The Most Of What You Are Out, Whereas A Lot Of Producers Might Put Their Stamp On You. I Gained Confidence Because I'm Less Of A Straight-up, Traditional Vocalist.

I Think Early On I Avoided Singing Because It Was So Personal And I Didn't Know How To Sit In That Intimacy. I Wrote Songs When I Was Little And I Wrote A Journal, But I Don't Think I Knew How To Let That Truth Come Out Yet.

Music Is Kind Of My Everything.

I Had An Upbringing In Which I Was Allowed To Be Free And Use My Mind. My Parents Only Helped Me To Be Myself. It Was Only In My Teenage Years That I Met People Who Made Me Start Having Doubts About Who I Was. They Said You Shouldn't Be Confident, You Shouldn't Be Strong. It Is Only When You Meet Those Other People That You Lose Confidence.
