This sampling was partially inspired by songs your older brothers listened to while you were younger in Alaska, right?
"My older brothers were from my dad's first marriage. They were children of the '70s and turned me on to songs like 'Gypsy.' But, I had my own little player in a fanny pack strapped to my bike — I did enough chores to buy my own Tommy Petty album so I played that, too. I loved that very young alaskan summer when I cruised around with the wind in my hair listening to 'American Girl.'"

On that note, what are your top three songs of all time?
"I could never really choose. But, at this moment in time I'll say 'Wonderful World,' 'Living For The City,' and 'Don't Think Twice.'"
