Mike Ragogna: What do you think about advice for new artists?

Jason Mraz: Oh man, be yourself. Be the artist that you were born to be. Don’t be anybody else. Obviously, you can be easily influenced by other artists. I think in one conversation with another artist, you can easily adapt and become a part of them. But I think that we’re all born into this world under our own unique circumstances. We all have our own stories to tell, and by being authentic, you let yourself be seen by others in a way that they can see themselves or that they can see someone else. It’s harder for other people to see the real you, you know what I mean? I just say go for it.
