My entire life, I was told I was an old soul. I never really connected with other children when I was growing up.

I've lived through a lot of dark environments one way or another while growing up and that has influenced my songwriting.

Growing up I really loved Mazzy Star, The Cranberries, Fiona Apple, Everything But The Girl. I listened to a lot of really random things too that I would find by myself. I would find Minnie Riperton albums that I would fall in love with, also, a lot of old country records.

I think for me I'm always... I find myself to be a very curious person when something interests me and I find that I'm attracted to that mystery.

I actually learned that you should never give up, and if you love something, take courage and absolutely go after it.

I am a military police officer and I have served on two deployments; my first was to Iraq, in a medical unit, and my second deployment was to Kuwait, as a military police platoon leader.

I find inspiration in what artists and regular people on the street wear, but I'm also very influenced by what I like to wear since I style myself.

I am often asked about the difference between 'change management' and 'change leadership,' and whether it's just a matter of semantics. These terms are not interchangeable.
