“I don’t try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.”

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 got so much love for classical music and I hear so much incredible music.You should know a bunch of music and have respect for all sorts of genres and styles of music.

If you ever forget how much you really mean to me, Every day I will remind you.

There’s always a bittersweet kind of thing, but I feel like everything had to work out the way it is. Everything that had to happen, happened.

My goals are – I don’t need much. I’m a simple man. I think that success is having fun. And when I’m having fun doing music, I’m happy. If I can make a little money on the side doing it, I’m really happy.

I can put some chords together and maybe write a song, but I’m learning every day. And that’s the fun part.

Oh every time I close my eyes I see my name in shining lights.

I grew up with so many different songs that the ones that are fun to play are the ones I want to do.

I feel, as a songwriter, it’s one of the hardest things to do – to sit down and say how you feel.

No one sells a song better than the person that wrote it.

Expect me to give my all. Thats what I do every time I have a show. Give my all.
