Zitat des Tages von Bishop Briggs:
I think now, whenever I write, there is nothing that will really compare to pen and paper.
The biggest thing that I hope people take away when they listen to my music is that they feel that there is an outlet being presented that allows them to be more authentic and for them to be more honest in their own lives.
I think what I always want whenever I'm recording is to have even just 2 percent of what the Alabama Shakes have, Brittany Howard.
Every time I get dressed, I try to channel a little bit of Kanye West and a little bit of Sailor Moon.
'Dream' is about having fears and doing your best to embrace them no matter how strenuous the grip is.
I've always viewed writing as an outlet for being vulnerable and all that comes with that. You are able to let things all out.
Growing up, I was listening to a ton of Motown music, Otis Redding, Aretha, and then there was the Beatles and Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin. These were all people that I felt as though they truly felt every single lyric they said, and they weren't afraid of imperfection.
I think in this life it's important to be kind, be thankful, and always be creative.
Every time I introduce myself, I'm reminded where I came from.
It was really important that 'Dream' kept the balance of strength and total vulnerability - which was my exact headspace when it was being written.
Sometimes you're inspired by an old-school song that you want to chop up and make a sample out of it. I find that with a lot of older Motown music.
Unfortunately, I did go through a dark eyeliner phase!
It's so important to be your own biggest fan, even if you have to constantly convince people, including yourself, that you're worthy of their time and energy and ears.
I made music a priority every single day.
I have been performing as long as I can remember, so I built my craft. People think I was discovered after the first show I played once I landed in L.A., and it just happened instantly - overnight. The truth is, I was performing wherever I could for five years.
I got the performing itch.
Every single time I perform 'River,' I just feel a huge rush of adrenaline and energy, and I remember writing it.
I think it's a rite of passage that the minute you land in Japan, you have to go to a karaoke bar.
I'd always sing 'Greatest Love of All' by Whitney Houston. I just want to make clear, though, you know those people on 'Star Search' who are the little 7-year-olds that sound like Christina Aguilera? That wasn't me.
There's always a ton of emotion coming from me, so I'm really excited to share it.
I think when it came to music, it did feel quite natural because it was something that I was so passionate about.
I am someone who is so grateful and practice gratitude every single day.
As a music lover, I always adore when artists write about what's currently happening in their life. I find that the most interesting to listen to, just because I am extremely nosey.
I truly never saw myself doing anything other than music. There was nothing else that brought me this much joy, but also this much frustration.
