As a new artist there are so many new ways to put music out there where you don't necessarily need a label because now labels will have their hands in your pocket and leave you with less control.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for military families. To have to worry about your loved ones and still try and live a normal life is extremely hard.

It is a fool's sheep that breaks loose twice.

You must act as if it's impossible to fail.

I was offered seven deals from seven different major labels between 2009-2011, and to be quite honest... nowadays, you need a hit record, a great radio team, an amazing PR firm, social media, a big budget, a team that is ready to work extremely hard, and the drive and passion to win!

When people (talk trash) about you, you have to keep it moving, keep the records hot and keep your head up.

I am not a good decision maker; that's one of the things I don't like about myself.
