I met this dude in Charlottesville VA and spoke to him backstage after one of his show's by himself and asked him rather challenged him "Dude you got all these girls screaming for you how are you not owning that and getting that?" He simply said and responded by saying " I got a girl back home." And the way he countered me in my drunkin state with a stare and a level of seriousness I sobered up quickly and changed the subject. I won't forget that moment because it reminded me of what is ment by sincerity and integrity something that I feel has been missing in artists.

"All those things you love about music are already anyways because they've been burned into your identity and so it's much more of a subconscious thing..." the way he kinda stares off and dips his voice as he says that just makes him feel like so much more a of sincere and genuine artist. "I never considered myself to be an extraordinary musician, I don't know much about theory but your songs um they're all going to be connected to you regardless because you're the writer. So it's impossible to completely eliminate yourself from the equation. As long as its something that speaks to you or is coming from you, I think it's a good thing."
