In Hawaii, some of the biggest radio stations are reggae. The local bands are heavily influenced by Bob Marley.

I want there to be a piece of me in my music, you know? I genuinely believe that's the secret of all the success that's happened (for me).

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

I know I'm probably much too late to try and apologize for my mistakes.

I can't even speak Hawaiian, but if you go there and listen to a Hawaiian song, you get captured because it's so beautiful, like the melody is just gorgeous and you know Bob Marley is on the radio every single day. It's very reggae-influenced down there. Basically, you haven't been to paradise if you haven't been to Hawaii.

There will never be another Michael Jackson, a huge pop star since (the age of) 7.

You pick up some fans and a handful of haters along the way.
