I've grown up on gospel and blues music, and now it's a huge part of who I am.

I went to school in Gainesville because it was a huge punk and folk town. So I went to class twice a week, and then I went to shows and wrote. I did a lot of music writing before I actually started playing music.

I don't think I ever wanted to be a journalist - I was more interested in what comes from being a journalist.

As soon as I started writing the first batch, I had a vision. I saw me on stage playing a certain type of music. I want to take these blues melodies over aggressive guitars. I heard the sound I wanted to make. I knew what I wanted to do. It wasn't ever there before.

My sister is an opera singer. I grew up going to her recitals. This whole time, I'm like, 'She's the singer. I'm just strumming along and yelling.'

I guess I would call my music 'blues punk.' There's a lot of influences.

New Orleans style is funky - it's just as experimental as the city. There aren't any rules. If you want to wear a polka-dot shirt and some crazy pants, you can get away with it there.

There are a lot of really good skills you get from doing journalism - it completely changed my world and how I interact with other people.

Gaya New Orleans itu funky - sama eksperimentalnya dengan kotanya. Tidak ada aturan apapun. Jika Anda ingin mengenakan kemeja polkadot dan celana keren, Anda bisa melakukannya di sana.
