What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music is how I can be honest with people because I avoid confrontation at all costs. It gives me the ability to say what I want to say without worrying.

What is your music dream?

To be able to make music for a living, in whatever capacity that may be.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

"Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Bob Dylan, The 1975, St. Vincent, H.E.R., Brandi Carlile

What inspires you to make music?

When I know that I need to say something or get past something, I write honestly about it. Then the music follows.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

Insanely nervous, but also on top of the world!

What frustrates you most as a musician?

I feel like I should be farther along in my career by now, even though I'm only 19. I put so much pressure on myself. Also, I am illiterate with technology, especially my music distributor!
