My parents bought this baby grand piano, which was in my living room, that I owe a lot to. I would just play it and write on it for hours. It was my favorite toy.

I love learning how people hear my music because everyone has different references.
Quote by -Borns
As far as playing instruments, it just feels good to have it under your hands. Cause sometimes those instruments have minor imperfections. Sometimes because they're so old, they're always out of tune a little bit.
Quote by -Borns
I'm influenced by a lot of different genres of music. So I'm constantly trying to rework production and make things interesting in the live show and on records.
Quote by -Borns
I grew up in Michigan. I feel like a lot of my childhood was in solitude, in the woods or making tree forts.
Quote by -Borns
Circuses don't treat their 'performers' very well - whipping them, trying to make them terrified.
Quote by -Borns
No, I don't think songwriting is emotionally challenging - I feel like it's almost a way to sort through your emotions and put them out there.
Quote by -Borns
Allowing yourself to suck is the hard part of writing music. If you allow yourself to suck, you will probably write something better.
Quote by -Borns
I had a band when I was in middle school, but I was the drummer. I kind of thought if I was going to be in a band, I'd be the drummer. I'm innately drawn to rhythm. But we didn't have any shows. We just jammed in our parents' basement.
Quote by -Borns
My folks bought a baby grand piano and that's where I did the majority of figuring out the songs I heard on the stereo.
Quote by -Borns
I bought a Three Dog Night album when I was pretty young, and I remember listening to all those songs. That's just greatly crafted songwriting, and the songs have such great harmonies. I remember marveling over those and trying to figure them out on piano. That was my early education - figuring out records, older records, as a kid.
Quote by -Borns
It's very easy in the studio to get overzealous with your vocal takes, thinking, 'Oh yeah, I can do it over and over. I can sing at the top of my range for this whole song.' But when you're doing it every night on the road, it's pretty intense.
Quote by -Borns
My vocal influences are a lot of jazz singers: Billie Holiday, Julie London, they had this tenderness to their voice.
Quote by -Borns
A big piece of my heart is definitely in Michigan and will always be in Michigan. Growing up there is definitely a big part of who I am as a person.
Quote by -Borns
There's a book called 'The Baron in the Trees.' A friend got that for me because I was kind of a tree-dwelling nomad for a bit. I kind of associate myself with the book.
Quote by -Borns
Dreams are pretty unexplainable. Have you ever tried to explain a dream to someone, and they're like 'Yeah, that sounds not as exciting as you think it is?'
Quote by -Borns
I feel like I'm never playing the same sized venues within two or three shows. It keeps me and the band fit in a way. It keeps us on our toes just because you don't get used to one size and one energy. It's good to switch it up.
Quote by -Borns
I like the idea of creating from your inner youth. You don't have to think too hard about it. Just make what feels good.
Quote by -Borns
My favorite songs of all time are songs that take you on a journey and give you pleasurable moments you weren't expecting.
Quote by -Borns
If you've never been to Michigan, everyone thinks it's completely rural. It's a destination state. You don't really drive through; you're going there for a reason.
Quote by -Borns
There's this poet named Walter Benton, I really like his stuff. He always uses landscapes as a metaphor for the female body.
Quote by -Borns
You should always read the ingredients in coconut water. It should say 100% coconut water.
