Whether it be personal or musical, I just think Im a walking art piece, just a ball of creativity.

I tried to stay away from the Euro beats, and not go totally pop. Instead, I wanted to take the Quincy Jones approach. The record pays homage to the Stevie Wonders, the Michael Jacksons, the Sam Cookes. I wanted to put that classic essence of R&B and soul with the new age of music now. There’s a lot of live instruments, and a lot less Auto-Tune. I really wanted to demonstrate my vocal ability, creating the vibe of me singing along with a band.

My mother taught me to treat a lady respectfully.

There's never a right time to say goodbye. But I gotta make the first move 'cause if I don't you're gonna start hating me.

To be the best you must beat the best.

You start to live when a moment feels like a lifetime

Haters keep on hating, cause somebody's gotta do it.
