I think humans in general, make associations and feel the need to group things together to have a better understanding of them. Though I would say my music is more country in a lot of ways, than it is surfy.

I think it's important to make sure you learn and understand the business that you are in, but it's also important to not let that get in the way of your main focus.

I'm just as normal as anybody else. I'm just probably in the same place as many people in their mid to late twenties are.

There's a much bigger picture beyond surfing, its part of an ocean culture. Everything comes back to Mother Nature. Surfing is a way of connecting, and saying thanks.
Tristan Prettyman
We're always supposed to be happy and positive. There's something about letting yourself slip into that vulnerable space because you can really feel things there. It helps you grow as a person. I tend to enjoy being in a vulnerable space, in a weird way.

When you have fans telling you their stories it makes you feel like you're not alone.

I think the reason people connect so well with my music is because there is a real connection.

Music was sort of an accident for me. I love to do it. I can't imagine doing anything else.

I toured for about 2 1/2 years on twentythree and then I took about a year off. I really just spent some good quality time by myself at my house, cooking, watching movies, hanging with my friends, and family. I just really needed a chance to get away from the music for a minute and decompress.
Tristan Prettyman
Honestly I think that the internet is one of the most amazing promotional tools out there. And I think it promotes music getting heard in a grass roots way, where people aren't being force fed to listen to something.
Tristan Prettyman
Being an opener is all about warming up the audience for the main band. That is always fun, pretty easy there isn't a lot of pressure.
Tristan Prettyman
Maybe the best hasn’t happened yet.

Over the years I have realized that the mistakes and forgetfulness is what makes live shows more endearing.
Tristan Prettyman
You kind of gotta step back from your dreams and your passions once in a while, and kind of do something else for a minute so that you can come back to it with a fresh outlook, and be real inspired by something else, so you can give something back to your dreams and your passions.
Tristan Prettyman
On tour I feel like it's always so go go...you're always just taking in and storing information and feelings and things. So for me I need time off to let all those things come out and settle.
Tristan Prettyman
I hope to always be able to relate to my fans and be in the moment with the world and the community. I think as you gain popularity it's easy to loose touch and become disconnected.
Tristan Prettyman
I'm pretty down to earth, I always have been and though I am on a much different path than most 25 year olds, I feel like I have a bit of a double life. We will go on tour for weeks at a time, but when I come home, I feel like I am picking up where I left off.
Tristan Prettyman
I've always been someone who likes to share and talk. When something happens to me I [don't] run away from it. I want to dive right into and explore it. Try to figure out why it's happening and try to figure out something good that's going to come out of it.
Tristan Prettyman
For me surfing is just something that I love to do. I grew up surfing, is sort of like a family requirement. I can't imagine my life without it. But I am not defined by it, nor is my music. They are very separate.
Tristan Prettyman
Never apologize on stage. Most people never notice when you make a mistake or if you are having a bad show.
