Everyone wants to know what kind of music their favorite artist listens to. It feels good to. I don’t try to dwell on that too much though.
BRETT DENNENI 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.

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.
