So many times nowadays it's about having two good songs on an album and a bunch of filler, and I wanted to make something that I felt every song on the album was fun for everybody.

I can move both of my eyes separately in different directions.

Kids look up to me, and it's really incredible to be in that position.

Everybody at school knew who I was because I'm just a really friendly person.

I've been singing my whole life and I've always wanted to be able to pursue a music career.

I'm a very outgoing person. I'm always happy, I'm one of those people who are always smiling. If somebody described me to somebody else, they'd say the kid with the curly hair with the big smile on his face. I get along with everybody.

I sing all the time but I'd never gotten what it felt like to be in the recording studio, so it was definitely a learning process.
