1. The First Song I Wrote
I was seven-years-old when I wrote my first song with my best friend at the time. It went like this: “Friends forever, make it never, that we’ll fight again. Sorrow truly, if I lose you. Then we’ll meet again.” We thought it was genius.
2. The Last Song I Released
I’ve been working on my first solo album, Night Underground for the past two years, producing it myself and recording in my home studio. I’ve been crafting the songs over a long period of time, with ideas being considered and reconsidered. It’s been a long time coming, and I’m very proud of it.
3. Songwriting Secrets
Writing is simply drawing on the things that you’ve heard. To me, if there’s a secret, it’s in listening to many things. As for my songwriting process, the initial idea either starts as an intense feeling that floods out as a song, or is drawn out of meandering solo jam sessions.
4. The Song That Makes Me Proud
I’m proud of all the songs on the record. I only want to put out what I think is good. I’m all about no filler, all killer.
5. The Song That Changed My Life
I’m Not In Love by 10CC rocked my world when I heard it as a child on the radio. The melody, words and harmonies hit me in the heart.
