You exude a nomadic and free-spirited aura in your music that we find to be super calming. In what particular ways do you feel you best ensured this atmosphere with “Breathe?"
I think because of the intonation, music, and lyrics, it just naturally became that environment for the listener. I think as an artist you always hope that you can deliver the message to the listeners that you intended. In this case, it was really important for me to help the listener deal with daily life….just breathe baby….we got you!
Every song has it's 'why'. We would like to know the why behind “Breathe?"
The initial why was I had about 30 minutes to write something, the end result was life doesn’t always work out the way we plan it to, and sometimes the end result really sucks for us! When things get crazy and you feel like your losing control, just take one second and stop, breathe, then breathe again, and then again and repeat!
What inspired you to create this song and in what ways do your personal life experiences parallel with its lyrics?
Time doesn’t stop for any of us….it doesn’t wait for us either, we only have this moment and what we choose to do with it is up to us. I have made A LOT of mistakes in my life, however, I don’t dwell on them anymore, and its because I take time every day to be thankful for what I have and where I am at and its because I do take the time to slow myself down using the “Breathe” technique through meditation. I think with everything that is going on globally it almost forced us to stop and just breathe.
Let’s talk about the instrumentation, the rhythmic drums correlate well with the melodic guitar chords. What was the direction you were seeking when it came to the production of “Breathe?"
It was pretty magical when we cut this song in the studio. It took me about 10 minutes to write the song and then about 3 hours until what you are hearing now. I was so fortunate to be sitting in a room with very talented musicians and producers. It was such a cool flow of energy that day in the studio and it was all happening so naturally and melodically that it really was a special kind of magic that day. Sometimes it took me about 10 minutes to write the song and then about 3 hours until what you are hearing now. to write a song and other times, like this time, it just happens.
In what ways have your various well-earned awards motivated you to elevate your sound and career?
The awards are incredible and they remind me of how hard I have had to work to get to where I am today. They remind me that no matter where you come from and no matter what you think or have been conditioned to think, you CAN do this and don’t ever give up on your dreams because they really do come true!
You did an amazing job with this single “Breathe” and we’re looking forward to more releases. Can you hint to us what we can expect next from you?
I’ve got a few things up my sleeve (laughing), no but really what I want is for my music to resonate with the listeners, helping them through each moment and I think if I stay authentic to myself I will be able to deliver that message to my audience, building better music each time I step out the gates. I think with this next single person will get a better inside look at me and get a better picture of where I am going musically.
