I overthink a lot of things.
Writing isn't everyone's favorite thing to do or what their thing is.
I love performing.
I love Soundgarden, I love Rage Against the Machine, Simon & Garfunkel.
Food in Chicago is the best.
I will always appreciate 'American Idol,' and I never forget about where I come from.
I'm not the guy that thinks I'm a perfect singer.
There are so many good venues in Chicago.
Writing on the road is a passion of mine.
I think a big part of 'American Idol' that scares people and actually has, I'm sure, stopped people from trying out is the fact that you do have to do things that are necessarily not your genre.
