I think I can connect with an audience because I know what it's like to be on the other side of it and I really remember all of that.
I overthink a lot of things.
I love Soundgarden, I love Rage Against the Machine, Simon & Garfunkel.
I love performing.
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.
Food in Chicago is the best.
Writing on the road is a passion of mine.
There are so many good venues in Chicago.
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.
