Inspiration

When I was in junior high, I went through a really rough patch with my family. One night my Uncle Kenny swooped in and took me for a drive. He introduced me to Enya and said that whenever he needed to relax or think, Enya chilled him out. Around that time, I discovered Sade. I wasn't necessarily sold on the chill at the time- I was going through the '90's grunge Pearl Jam phase. However, listening to her made me wanna write. And so began my relationship with Sade.

I still write my best stuff when I listen to Sade. She relaxes me. I couldn't be more psyched about this album coming out. It makes me feel like everything's gonna be alright.
