“The more that I travel, the more people that I meet, the more experiences that are really a testament to the kind of person that I am, and you hear about my experiences and my growth through my music.

“The love is so powerful that both people have to surrender. I think that's the funny thing about dating somebody for the first time, it's kind of a question of who wears the pants, or who's gonna text you first, how much am I supposed to put myself out there, and it makes you feel a little bit crazy. But at the end of the day, it's not about that. And if it's the right person you don't have to worry about that.” PeopleIfsThinkingFeelsFirstsKindLittlesPersonsEndsBitsLove IsPowerfulWorryCrazyLittle BitFirst TimeDatingSurrenderThe End Of The DayPantsFunny ThingsRight Person Author:Zella Day
“When I lived in Pinetop I just wanted to leave - I thought the city was where I belonged. But now that I'm living in the city, I love it for what it is. It's brought me closer to my art and put me in the right place as far as having people around me. It's very inspiring, but I miss our little town. There's something very simple and beautiful about growing up in a small place. That's where my heart is, for real.” PeopleHeartArtRealBeautifulSimpleGrowing UpMissingMy HeartArt IsVery Inspiring Author:Zella Day
“L.A. is a kind of a landing place for some people. People are just in and out all the time. People are there for a short time until they get what they need and then they go somewhere else.” PeopleKind Author:Zella Day
“Much of my inspiration definitely comes from the human experience. I'm really inspired by love like a lot of people are. My art, my childhood, and changes and transitions in life and how they impact me and cause me to write music.” PeopleWritingArtInspirationChildhoodInspiredHuman Experience Author:Zella Day
“At Pinetop I just studied music, and there was no pressure to look any certain way, and so being able to sing and play guitar was enough. But when I came out to L.A., there's a whole image that you put out there and people really feed off of that because of social media platforms. And sometimes someone will see a picture of me before they hear one of my songs. It's really important to have it all figured out so that you can portray what you want people to see.” PeopleImportantSometimesEnoughSongSocial Media Author:Zella Day
“It's really surreal when I play shows, I'll have three or four people who are in the front row who are singing every word to my songs. The first time I experienced that I was like,"Are they mocking me? Is this a joke?" But it's not a joke. They actually identify with my music and that is something that I'm getting used to.” PeopleSongSingingJokesFirst TimeSurreal Author:Zella Day
