Gratitude is the key that unlocks wonder.

I have a creative mind, so if I listen to the song, I have an idea, I thought of five or six months ago, I'll bring it back into the playing field. I can tweak ideas or make them better. Just come up with something and then we go from there.

So please don't judge me and I won't judge you 'cause it could get ugly before it gets beautiful.

It's Not My Job To Try To Persuade People To Love Me, It's Only To Try To Make Them Love The Music

My mother taught me to treat a lady respectfully.

With the song 'This Christmas' I wanted to do something that was kind of different. I mean, Donny Hathaway is an amazing artist. So I wanted to bring my flavor to the song so when people over the age of 45 or 50 hear it they'll be like 'OK, he did his thing with that record.' It's like I can appeal to everybody and not just a younger demographic.

I think the key is basically just your determination. As far an artist is concerned, it's just about your drive and your dream.
