The things that got me through grade school are helping me out later in life. It's like, I show up on time. If you buy a ticket to one of my shows, I'll show up. I'll be there. And if it says 10:00, I'll be on stage at 10:00. ↗

Looking back, I think that's why I did music. I'd get home from school and the house would be so quiet. ↗
