Nature inspires me because it’s so peaceful. It makes me have an inward experience. It makes me reflective and nostalgic.

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.
