It Broke My Heart When I Learned

I Had Known That People Would Probably Have Strange Reactions To My Voice, Because I Have Kind Of An Unwieldy, Difficult Voice, But I Never Thought That Anybody Would Have A Problem With The Harp. I Just Assumed... C'mon, It's A Beautiful Instrument.

I Definitely Don't Subscribe To The Theory That More Instruments, Or More Vocal Tracks, Harmony, Or Double Tracking The Voice, Is A Good Thing. People Do Their Early Albums Very Stripped Down, Then Each Album Becomes Bloated.

I Didn't Sing For Years And Years, But I Started Playing Harp When I Was Maybe 9 Or 10. I Had Actually Wanted To Play For Years Leading Up To That, But No Teacher In Our Little Town Would Take Me On As A Student, Because I Was Too Young.

I Want To Make Music That Somehow Connects To The Things That I Love In America Music.

I Have A Voice That's Obviously Untrained - And I Think Untrainable - So I Kind Of Secreted It Away For A Long Time. Actually, I Would Write Songs With Lyrics When I Was Younger, But I Would Just Sing In My Head.
