One of the things I've always admired about your music is that it is both very smart and very accessible, particularly for younger singers. Being able to write music that can reach so many people without sacrificing any artistic integrity, to me, seems like a huge feat! Unfortunately, this sort of aesthetic appears to be undervalued in much of modern musical academia.

Did you encounter a lot of resistance in writing music with more broad appeal? And if so, how did you get past that?

And follow up question, if you see this: will we be seeing you at the ACDA convention in SLC this year?
