I left home at 17 with nothing but my toothbrush, a change of underwear, an apple, and a book by Yoko Ono called Grapefruit, which became my window into life through art.

People told me, "If you do an all-vocal album, you'll end up sounding like a horrible Yoko Ono album," but I wanted to show that vocal albums don't have to be just for the select few.
