I moved cities for about four months to try to provoke some inspiration and put myself in an uncomfortable situation where I would be meeting new people and have a change in locale. I look back at my career and one of my favorite records I ever made was right after I moved to Nashville.
I realize over the years my music has started becoming more like country and it's not necessarily something I'm trying to do.
I feel like I've been becoming more and more like the city I had been living in and creating in.
When a friend puts out a new album and it's really great, it makes you want to do something that great and it makes you get yourself in gear. It's healthy competition that helps make some great music.
