Someone told me something that stuck with me: "You have to envision your life, and then go backwards." I've been living by that motto for a while, so I see where I need to be. Now I'm just backtracking and trying to get back up there.

I'm a big fan of the young 1950s Elvis when he would just go onstage and control the whole environment.

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

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!

I just really care about what people see. I want them to know that I'm working hard for this. The artists that I look up to like, you know, Michael, Prince, James Brown. You watch them and you understand that they're paying attention to the details of their art. And they care so much about what they're wearing, about how they're moving, about how they're making the audience feel. They're not phoning it in. They're going up there to murder anybody that performs after them or performs before them. That's what I've watched my whole life and admired.

My goals are - I don't need much. I'm a simple man. I think that success is having fun. And when I'm having fun doing music, I'm happy. If I can make a little money on the side doing it, I'm really happy.
