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

Ideas Musical Song
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.

Follow Heart Lost
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.
BRETT DENNEN

Choose Clever People Trying
Every 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.

I used to want to be fully observational, but I’m just not that kind of writer. My process always changes depending on how, when, and where inspiration stiles me.
BRETT DENNEN

Inspiration Kind Want
I come from a place of sincerity. I write about what I see and feel. I write about what I want, I don’t have a political agenda. Politics may enter into a song but it always comes from the heart.
BRETT DENNEN

Agenda Heart Political Song Writing
People really respond to the songs when I play them in concert. Every song comes from a different place emotionally or from a different headspace.
