“I don’t think of anyone as a ‘groupie.’ People who connect with my music are just inspiring and amazing.”

You’re your own best friend. If you love yourself and believe in yourself then it doesn’t really matter what other people think and then you’re kind of invincible.

Being brave enough to just be unapologetic for who you are‚ that’s a goddess.

Once I discovered how important writing music was to me and just what a huge weight it lifted off of me, I knew that it was going to be the biggest part of my life, the biggest love of my life, the biggest thing in my life.

I’m not religious in any way but I am very spiritual. Music is holy to me. It’s like my religion. It’s sacred. It feels unearthly; it makes me feel a way that talking to somebody doesn’t make me feel, it’s something you can’t even wrap your head around. It’s not abstract, you can’t even grasp it – that’s what music is to me.

A role model for me is somebody who is really empathetic and has a calm strength to them. Sometimes you meet random people and they’re really inspiring because they seem wise; they’ve gone through things.
