Rocket Summer Quotes

I definitely did not come from a musical family. In fact, I was just asking that question of myself yesterday. Everyone in my family has a different thing, and I've been into music ever since I was a kid. When I was 12, I started playing instruments. My dad was in the high school band back when that was cool, and he has a saxophone that he let me pick up.

I definitely am not a huge fan of recording because I tend to get really, really picky. But when I write a good song, that's the best feeling ever —it's what I do and what I love. Mostly, I just like connecting with people. I'm blessed to do this even though at times, I pretty much hate the music business. I do love the fans and being with them.

Every day I'm learning something. The biggest thing I struggle with is trusting. I struggle trying to do, and thinking I can do, everything myself. When problems arise, I'm trying to fix it and not let God fix it. It's a roller coaster; I don't know why. Now I find myself focusing more on Christ and what I can do for him through this. When I do, it's awesome to see what's happening.

It started as a necessity because I didn't have a band and then it morphed into that, kinda. But, you know, I'm not like a crazy perfectionist. Wait, yes I am. I'm praying for help in that area so I don't drive myself nuts.
