The drumming helps a lot when I'm producing songs or writing songs. My knowledge of drums helps more in that aspect, (although) I don't know, man; I'm not great at any of them.

It's just all love. That's what music is. That's why music is created. To make people feel good, to uplift people. That's what musicians are for: to give everyone an escape, to let everyone feel good and take people out of everyday problems, so that they can hear music and sing words that are hopefully relatable.

Hawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there's music in the air there.

Music is not math. It's science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.

You know, I just do whatever feels right to me! And so that's what you're gonna get!

Don't you love it that Prince doesn't use Twitter? Don't you think he's somewhere on a unicorn?

I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It's not super-poetic, it's just from the heart.
