I learned piano off YouTube and still do a lot. It's hard to find contemporary indie music on there, at least lessons, because the reach is smaller. I did it so people like me out there could learn my songs if they wanted to and maybe, in a small way, to pay forward all the free lessons I've had over the years.

I don't feel like I'm the type of performer who's going to knock your socks off. I'm trying to get over my nerves.

I'm a piano player and singer who can't play piano very well or sing very well. That isn't a recipe for success. I have to get better.

Tobias Jesso, Jr. Quotes
