The ocean inspires me because there’s the energy of the water moving.

Nothing 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.

Desire Growing Lost
That’s one thing I really appreciate about the yoga culture, that the people are very thankful. They come up to you as much as any fan would, but they express sincere gratitude and I appreciate that.

I’m a very typical yoga-practicing musician; I do it when I can. I’m not hardcore about it. A lot of my lyrics talk about celebrating life and working through pain. I think that’s what yoga’s about, getting rid of, moving energy and letting it flow through you.

Lyrics Moving Pain Working Yoga
When you get to say something in a song you’re not directing it necessarily at one person. When it’s in a song it’s easier to get it out. I don’t really worry so much about it when I’m writing a song.
BRETT DENNEN

Song Worry Writing
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.

Clever People Trying
I think food is the great equalizer. Other than the ocean and the air, food is the thing that we all share in common. I think along with that comes the question of why are some people starving, and why do some people produce more food than they need, and why is food going to waste.

I think there’s a certain magic that comes from being creative.

Creative Magic Thinking
I think anyone who is an artist or writer or owns their own business or whatever can agree that when you come up with something on your own, it’s an addictive feeling.

I have ideas for songs all the time, but musical ideas, like melodies, really come out when I’m in nature.

I don’t wanna limit myself to anything, but I eat like a vegetarian and I eat mostly raw.

The mountains inspire me because they are just still and they have such a strong, quiet presence that feels very old.

Pain is a part of life. It’s certainly part of my creative process.

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.
