I wasn't intentionally trying to create my own path or be original, it was just I needed to say certain things and I needed to express myself, and that's how it came out.

I mean, there'll always be room for big productions and everything but it's good to see the other side.

I wanted to find a way to speak for people. It was important for me, because so many people spoke for me when I was a kid and made me feel less invisible, and I wanted kids or whoever is listening to my music not to feel so voiceless.

Melody is the first thing that comes to me when I'm songwriting. I learned piano classically first, and then I went into soul, and so melody has always been the first. It's so important.

From when I was a kid I wanted to write. It was so important to me that I was writing my own material.

Any song I have to work on longer than a day, I just leave it. It's not gonna work. Everything that's good is really instant.
