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.

If I was a billionaire, I'd be smart with my money.

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

I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.

Becoming famous was never what I wanted to do. There's a lot of things that come with fame - it's what people in the limelight have to do.

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

It's just all love. That's what music is. That's why music is created. To make people feel good, to uplift people. That's what musicians are for: to give everyone an escape, to let everyone feel good and take people out of everyday problems, so that they can hear music and sing words that are hopefully relatable.
