“Every song is different, but I usually have a moment, or an idea for a story in my head that I want to write more about. From there I try to find a chord progression that suits the story. I tend to write slower, ballad-like songs on the piano, and more upbeat songs on the guitar. From there a melody starts to form itself, and lyrics either happen at the same time, or they aren’t far behind.”
