I’m a big believer in that old cliché of thinking globally and acting locally.

Brett Dennen

I 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.

What I strive to do with songwriting is be really honest, authentic and try to be open and share that with people. I choose that over trying to be clever, poetic, or lyrical.

I 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.
