I have a short attention span.

I always go thrift shopping wherever I am.

I like to buy books at airports sometimes.

I like a lot of older, '60s or '70s-style songwriting.

Nothing grounds you like a real authentic Mexican taco.

I like writing love songs. I really like romantic poetry.

Yeah, moving to Los Angeles definitely influenced my sound.

Songwriting itself, I don't think you can really teach that.

I grew up watching 'The Tonight Show' and Jimmy Fallon on 'SNL.'

I want people to know me in my home state. I want their approval.

I have a few friends who are amazing stylists, so I owe them a lot.

I always found creative ways to make money since I was pretty young kid.

My folks would have parties and all I wanted was to be the entertainment.

I dance as best I can. I try to let the music flow freely through my legs.

I grew up with a big backyard that led to the sand dunes of Lake Michigan.

In 2016, I was pretty green. I was budding. Some flowers were shooting off.

To make a genuine record, it takes more than a cool beat and some auto tune.

No one pursued music professionally in my family but they are all music lovers.

A lot of my songs are inspired by a muse of some sort, whether she's real or not.

When I wrote 'Dopamine,' I was so enamored by Los Angeles and finally making music I was really excited about.

My parents played the Bee Gees; Earth, Wind & Fire; Michael Jackson. The best pop music to infiltrate a child's mind.

My vocal influences are a lot of jazz singers: Billie Holiday, Julie London, they had this tenderness to their voice.
