Any young, aspiring musicians out there, if music is what you want to do, if music is what you love and your passion. It doesn't take a fragrance, it's not about the tabloids, it's about you putting in the work, practicing every day, practicing your vocals, practicing your instrument, practicing songwriting. Hopefully one day you write the song the whole world wants to get down to. I promise you, if you go out there and sing and you put your heart and soul into it and you follow your dream, one day you're going to be sitting next to Ellen DeGeneres talking about how you broke records and rocked the Super Bowl.

I always say I wanna work with Alicia Keys. I'm in awe of her.

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

My dad was into the 1950s doo-wop era. If you look at those groups, or at James Brown, Jackie Wilson and the Temptations in the 1960s, you'll see you had to be sharp onstage.

I'm the Nickelodeon version of DangerMouse.

I think that success is having fun.

My dream was to not get a day job but to sleep, wake up and do my music. I want to keep that dream forever.
