Ever since I was a kid, this was all I wanted to do. I've wanted to do music. I wanted to sing. It's all I know.

Writing for other artists helped me figure out that magic you have to capture to make everyone connect with a song.

I don't throw lavish parties or nothing like that - I just want a bed and a TV.

I want people to think of Hawaii and think of palm trees and magical islands and Bruno Mars.

I just write songs that I strongly believe in and that are coming from inside. There's no tricks. It's honesty with big melodies.

I'm the Nickelodeon version of DangerMouse.

I really wish I knew what I was doing because I'd be writing hit songs every minute.
