You have to envision your life, and then go backwards.

People can hear my songs are coming from something real. I mean what I say; I'm not just writing to impress critics or young girls, or older girls. The way I talk is the way I write a song.

I came to California and got signed at a young age. And it's not like you see in the movies, where you start rubbing shoulders with Timbaland and Pharrell, and you become a giant pop star.

Expect me to give my all. Thats what I do every time I have a show. Give my all.

I love doing shows. I love rocking shows. I love playing instruments. I love singing. If I can find a way to do that and feed my family, then I'm a happy man.

Never had much faith in love or miracles, Never wanna put my heart on the line

I love artists like Prince, who hold on to that element of mystery.
