Some people don’t like my songs because they think they’re too simple or easy or not that thought-out. I feel like the way I write is pretty simple, in some ways, because I’m trying to connect. I want a lot of people to hear it, and be moved in some way.

There was a period of time when I first moved to Nashville, like the first couple of years, that I was just simply lost. I didn’t know who I was; I didn’t know really what I was doing here. I was meant to be a singer, but I just felt lost. That’s when I went on the search for my birth family.

I love Maira Kalman. She’s an amazing illustrator and writer.

Her work made me observe everything so much deeper and more joyfully.
