rockyourlyricsHow do you usually write the lyrics of your songs?
I get an idea, and it’s usually based on a melody. I start with that and my voice and just play around with it, try to really find out what I am trying to say, and get to the core of that.
Also, to be blunt, I like to write lyrics when I am high and edit sober.
In your opinion, what is the most important thing in songwriting?
They lyrics and melody. For me, they give life to the message, and that’s what everything else is centered around. They are the script, the story, and the rest is just sets and costumes and actors.
Are you ever scared of revealing aspects of your personal life/experience to strangers through your music?
Of course, but that’s part of the work, and you have to embrace that honesty. Those who know and love you have to embrace it too.
What is the best lyric that you ever wrote (the most meaningful for you)?
They told me I was too much, I shouldn’t even try it. They told me I was too big, that’s right now, I’m a giant.
What inspired “I Work For Me”, part of your latest album “Road To Rome”?
A sense of pride in myself and my accomplishments, paired with a desire to tell the ghosts of my past to fuck off.
Is there a link/a common theme among all the songs of the new album?
All the songs are about self love and hope and the daily work of having a good relationship with you.
Who produced it?
Jordan Brooke Hamlin – she’s a boss!
