"I have to constantly pinch myself to remind me that what's happened over the past few years has been real - to have gone from making music in a dorm room and fantasizing about recording and touring professionally to actually doing just that continues to blow my mind on a daily basis. We're living during an incredible time for young, independent musicians, and I feel so amazingly lucky to be a part of this space and this vibrant, new world. Making music and performing are what I've always dreamt of doing with my life, and the internet has allowed me to connect with fans from all over the world who are making that possible. And what's most incredible about this digital medium is how much of a two-way street it's made of the fan-artist relationship - I love engaging with you, the people who listen to my music, and at the end of the day, knowing that you've found something in my work that speaks to you means more to me than I can possibly describe."
