In my honest opinion, in 'Volumes I' and 'II,' we were still trying to figure out our sound.

David Phelps has an uncanny ability to sound full and powerful on every part of his range and sing with so much emotion.

I think a capella and Christmas music just go really well together.

I always wanted to write a sad song that sounds happy. I think everyone can relate to this emotion.

We always try to make every song we do sound like a track. It's vocal, but we want it to be really full so no one really can even know if it's a cappella. It's not like it's missing anything, per se.

I think YouTube has been super instrumental in our success as well, because I think there's something really important about seeing and hearing what we're doing.

Our album stuff, we bring it to our producer to help us finesse. But anything that's been on YouTube and a lot of the stuff that's been on the album, too, it started from us just sitting around in a circle and jamming it and finding where the parts fit.

I always feel good after I change my hair. You get a haircut and feel positive and ready to take on the day.

I'm pretty gloriously positive and naive in a way.

Honestly, sometimes, it takes a negative to bring about a positive.

The theater community is so incredible, kind, and supportive.

I've learned that even just as an individual, regardless of who I am, and regardless of who anyone is, to really be true to yourself and your own self expression and really use your voice for that.
