 I think authenticity is everything in country music. Articulating exactly how you feel is not always easy, but I think aspiring to do that is all you can hope for, and then sometimes you get it right. Probably my biggest struggle was the what I should be doing versus what I feel like I have to be doing. Life has a tendency of grabbing you and putting you in a box and you keep running in that same direction for the rest of your life sometimes. And I did go to university and had some great times there and honestly like university gave me the space to be creative that I wouldn't have had had I gone into the workforce and something that I knew I probably wasn't going to be great at. That space to have ideas and have ideas that are wrong and try them and then get to start over again. And musically there was such a great scene of time by on the hill. All the proper touring bands were stopped there. That was the Newcastle gig for so many of them. I was part of the generation that all saw what Silverchair did. When you see someone from your hometown do something like that it makes you feel like you can too. It's a big deal to move to the other side of the world and especially to do music in a town like Nashville. It really is. My best way to describe it is it's intimidating and inspiring at the same time and you almost get to choose each day. And the best thing, the best experience of what I do and the reason that I do it is that moment when everyone's standing up singing along and in this hopeful kind of feeling together that's it, that's the reason I do it. I think there's a place in the world for everyone with whatever they do that will make them feel like that and I would hope that people go looking for it and find it.
