“I just know that I’m a fan of all different kinds of genres. You’re supposed to be free doing music, and that’s how I feel.”

Hawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there’s music in the air there.

It’s dedicating yourself to your craft. Spending thousands of hours in a studio learning how to write a song, learning how to play different chords, training yourself to sing. You know, to get better and better.

I signed up to be a musician, I want to perform, I want to sing.

Every artist should want to be like Michael Jackson.

I can show you in music better than I can tell you in words.

My dream was to not get a day job but to sleep, wake up and do my music. I want to keep that dream forever.

I’ve definitely seen bands before they made money kind of change their thing on the next tour, and I prefer it when it’s a little more raw.

If perfect’s what you’re searching for, then just stay the same.

I want there to be a piece of me in my music, you know? I genuinely believe that’s the secret of all the success that’s happened (for me).

Writing for other artists helped me figure out that magic you have to capture to make everyone connect with a song.

I really wish I knew what I was doing because I’d be writing hit songs every minute.

I love doing shows. I love rocking shows. I love playing instruments. I love singing. If I can find a way to do that and feed my family, then I’m a happy man.

When everything in life gets so complicated it only takes a day to change it.

Be in control. Know who you are. And don’t try to be different just to be different.

In Hawaii, some of the biggest radio stations are reggae. The local bands are heavily influenced by Bob Marley.

Never had much faith in love or miracles, Never wanna put my heart on the line.

I think every director has a different methodology.

Love is never cruel when its true believe me because its different with you.

Grace is God-given power to live differently.

We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.

We all have souls of different ages.

Wouldn’t it be a different world if love passed as freely through us as money passes through hands.

We have a tendency to condemn people who are different from us, to define their sins as paramount and our own sinfulness as being insignificant.

Only peril can bring the French together. One can’t impose unity out of the blue on a country that has 265 different kinds of cheese.
