“I am just fascinated by music and I want to know how to identify all the things I love about it; to me music theory is like learning another language and then being able to explain how much you love something more clearly.”

There’s no other person I like working with as much as my sister.

I mainly try to foster long-term collaborative relationships.

I am not a very superstitious person, but I do believe in mental preparation.

Working on TV shows was fun, but I felt crazy pressured and stressed.

I came to NAMM once and saw this guitar that self-tuned, and I thought, ‘Wow, this is the future!’ And I’ve never seen it again.

If you’re thinking about all the possibilities of your life, there are extreme negatives, which you hope don’t happen, and extreme positives, which you just aren’t willing to think about because you think you’ll jinx it.

The amount of times I’ve been told something by artists I’m working with, which I’m sure they haven’t told even their significant other or families, is shocking.

The excuse of having a dog is great, because before I had a dog, I wouldn’t be like, ‘I need to go hike for two hours’; my girlfriend would have been like, ‘What are you doing?’ Now I take the dog, and she comes with me.

There’s always a better word than a swear word.

Well, predominately, if I’m writing for another artist, I’m sitting there with them and we’re writing it together.

It’s always important to be checking in with people you love.

I have nothing against reverb.

Our mom cooks well, and we cook poorly. We try.

The way that we tried to approach every piece of music is, if the song had a brain, it would be aware of its catalog.

People were like, ‘he’s collaborating with Taylor Swift’ and I was like, ‘I am?’ I think she’s wonderful. Her songwriting has inspired me for years.

You go to a truck stop and there are key chains with names on them, and there’s no Finneas. There’s no Billie. They’re little things, but as a kid, you just feel weirdly ostracized.

Minimalism is a clear focus on life what matters. 

I don’t know what I need, Maybe just dreams, the right people, and a spirit freed of all the worries, insecurities, and fear. A fulfilled life where visions and hearts are more clear.

Improve your understanding of situations before trying to improve your thoughts because better understanding will provide you with better clarity and better clarity is a way to get better thoughts.

Put yourself first. Unplug and clear your mind.

We go through many things in life just to come back to our clarity.  

You must be clear about what you want in your life if you are serious about unlocking the extraordinary power that lies within you.

Love the person, but give the person total freedom. Love the person, but from the very beginning make it clear that you are not selling your freedom.

The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.
