I can't wait until the record label feels like it's time for my album to come out, and then just disappear.

I was a Air Force kid. I got out of high school and I decided to join the military. I traveled and I was international before I got home. I did my thing in Japan, and I did it on big stages.

In my heart, I know I'm just as talented as some of my idols.

I'm trying to live with no fears and not care what anyone has to say.

I don't want to be in the spotlight so bad that I'm going to sell my soul, or sell my creativity short.

Atlanta is not like New York, where everybody piles into one place.

I basically lived through what could have been my downfall and survived it, so whatever comes my way, I'm ready.
