BRETT DENNENNature inspires me because it’s so peaceful. It makes me have an inward experience. It makes me reflective and nostalgic.
BRETT DENNENThe ocean inspires me because there’s the energy of the water moving.
BRETT DENNENI also love fall, when it starts to rain, or even just before the rain – that is the most inspiring thing.
BRETT DENNENI always saw myself as an old man living in the mountains playing a guitar, but I didn’t really turn that into a desire to be a professional musician or a singer or a rock star or anything like that.
BRETT DENNENSo I try influence people to live from their heart and make conscious decisions , and I try just inspire people to make positive change. That’s purely the reason I do it. I want to see the world get better, you know?
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 DENNENWhat 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.

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.
