“The songs I write come to me spontaneously, often when I am not even thinking of writing a song. They usually have something to do with what is going on for me personally. They are stories that often have hidden meanings or are connected to a story that means something to me but may not be seen in the same light by someone else. Getting to know my songs is like reading a map of my life. I love the connection that is made with other people through my music.”
