1. How do you describe yourself as an artist?
We define our sound as Rock, Folk, Soul. Our style is along the Rock, Folk, Americana vein with more Rock/Soulful sung lyrics.


2. What's the best part of your job?
Being a part of that mystical force that is music--turning deep feelings and longings into a sound that says it better than words and somehow connects with people no matter where they come from and no matter what they are going through. How can anyone hold that in their hands? It's like having mutant powers or something haha. And it awakens the soul and fills up the tank in my chest.


3. What's the best advice that you can give to someone who is exploring your career?
Work hard and don't be a dick.


4. What does socializing with purpose mean to you?
You have to put people first. When asking how do I do this? or what do I do when I do this? Will my socializing put them at any risk?--then it's not worth it. Will my words build them up or just add more noise to the ethos? It's good to have friends around you with solid judgement that you can run things by before executing those things. If you're going to do something it cannot be about you, fame or posturing and ask if you are even the best voice for this. Be genuine, authentic, and necessary.
