As an artist I write about the world I want to live in. And as a musician and someone who is in the public eye, I think you have this responsibility to influence people.

I 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.
