Europe in general is a great place for me, but specifically Germany has been very good to me. Germans love classical music... Electronic dance music is massive over there, so I\'m kind of the marriage between the two.

There is such an advantage to self-releasing. If you can do it yourself, it\'s the best way to go. In Europe and the rest of world outside the U.S., I have licensed my music to labels. But it\'s amazing because I still own all the masters. I didn\'t have to give up any of those rights. I have 100 percent creative control.

A lot of my writing comes from the themes of my life, and a lot of that stems from my faith. I also strive to be a light through which Christ can shine, whether it\'s through the way I dress, though my videos, or through my music.

I really feel like sometimes I\'ll write these songs, and I\'ll just think, \'You know that couldn\'t have come from me alone.\' I believe that God inspires us. I believe that He gives us gifts and talents, and it\'s up to us to develop them and choose what we do with them.
