God loves all his children, somehow we’ve forgotten, but we paraphrase a book written thirty-five hundred years ago.
I can write for weeks or months sometimes and edit it down to a song. I feel like it’s a piece of music that will hopefully stand the test of time and hopefully capture a moment in history if I’m doing it correctly and honestly.
For me, being transparent about every aspect of my life is what makes my music relatable and how I’m able to be an individual amongst the mass amounts of other artists.
I shop at thrift shops probably five times a week.
Thrift shopping is really just an extension of me being that same kid and going into a place that’s completely unconventional that has really endless possibilities in terms of outfits that you can put together and really just expressing yourself.
We become so numb to what we’re saying.
And weed’s not a drug – that’s denial.
I write to the beat and let life play the guitar strings.
Bullying is a national epidemic.
When I write, I don’t have any expectation of what kind of song it will become or who it might reach.
It’s been so long since I’ve really truly felt what it’s like to live life without substances to help. Massive struggle that’s natural to one’s health, but with addiction in my blood I play the cards I was dealt.
You have major labels that are willing to take unconventional approaches because the old model is crumbling in front of us.
Vote Love means vote equality. It means vote change. It means vote whats right for humanity.
I’m as honest as I can be.
I just want to give the people 100% of myself as an artist.
I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.
I’m not more or less conscious than any other rapper out there.
Sampling is kind of prehistoric, given the technology and the textures you can create.
Reading a piece of poetry with no beat in front of 20 people is way more challenging than rocking for 10,000 people.
I think that there will always be artists out there who think they need to sign a major label deal in order to be successful. And that machine is what is going to work for them – there’s tons of examples of pop stars who need that machine.
