I always loved LeAnn Rimes and especially Clint BLACK for his soulfulness. As I've gotten older, my influences have broadened - JOHN Mayer, Michael Buble, STEVIE Wonder, Keith Urban, Stevie Ray Vaughn, the Beatles - all of these ARTISTS have SOMEHOW been a part of my development as a songwriter.
I DEFINITELY am afraid of the dark. Somehow, in my mind I can always COME up with some HORRIFIC STUFF to worry about.
Often, if there's SOMETHING that I want to do, but somehow can't GET myself to do, it's because I don't have clarity. This lack of clarity often arises from a feeling of ambivalence - I want to do something, but I don't want to do it; or I want one THING, but I also want something ELSE that conflicts with it.
