BRETT DENNENI think most artists would agree, it’s one thing to be playing in front of a crowd that’s loving it, it’s another thing to add cameras, but it’s a really cool trade off to be on television.
BRETT DENNENI have ideas for songs all the time, but musical ideas, like melodies, really come out when I’m in nature.
BRETT DENNENI’m an avid juicer and a healthy eater.
BRETT DENNENI like to still have thought and be aware of people and whatever that’s happening, but I also like to just focus on the words that I’m saying.
BRETT DENNENEvery song is completely different. Sometimes they come like a lump of clay and it’s your job to chip away and find out what’s in the center. Sometimes it comes like swimming fish, and you have to follow it and see where it leads. Sometimes it comes totally fragmented.
BRETT DENNENFollow your heart and you won’t get lost.
BRETT DENNENIt’s usually kids that normally don’t have a chance to get to meet each other because they’re separated by millions of different things.
BRETT DENNENI want to write songs with meaning. I have high standards for my work.
BRETT DENNENNothing has happened too fast, nothing has happened too slow. It has been a mellow rise, and I’m thankful for that. I haven’t lost my head, and I haven’t lost my desire to keep growing.
BRETT DENNENI also love fall, when it starts to rain, or even just before the rain – that is the most inspiring thing.
BRETT DENNENI sing the best when I’m really in my voice. It’s kind of like I’m meditating but I sort of imagine my voice as a physical thing. I see colours, I feel it moving out of me and I try to tap into images that I was tapping into when I was writing the song.
BRETT DENNENI love being creative, and for me it doesn’t matter what it is – whether it’s art or music or just daydreaming.
BRETT DENNENI always liked playing music and I always wanted to be good at playing guitar.
BRETT DENNENPain is a part of life. It’s certainly part of my creative process.
BRETT DENNENThe people at festivals are much more open to dance and just sing along. They come right up to the stage and they’re very thankful.
