my own life experience, whereas
“Fall” and “Home” are short sto-

riences.
In fact, many of the songs of
this album were born after real
stories that happened to you or
think a big part of the reason for
that is my fear of being so open
and vulnerable in front of a group
of people. But even though it
can be scary I think it’s a valuable
thing to be open and vulnerable
with each other sometimes. Letting
other
people
know

this February.
I
have the privile-

SYML for a short
run of dates, and I’ll
be per-
forming a solo show at the Paradi-
so in Amsterdam on the 17th. I’m
hoping to do another longer tour
through Europe later in 2018 as
well, hopefully Italy will be on that
list!
