What's working for me is like when I go into the studio, I'm trying to get goosebumps.

I think the best advice I would give young artists is to always be working on your craft, because there are so many people out there with a dream similar to yours, a whole lot more than when I started.

One of the least enjoyable things for me to do is to talk about myself.

I've learned in my older age how to let it go when things don't work out, because something incredible that I don't know about yet is probably right around the corner.

I was pretty much a single-father for most of my daughter India's life. Looking back, were there things I could've done better? Yes, but I'm still pretty proud of myself for having raised such an amazing individual. Being a parent is not easy, but speaking for myself, it's a wonderful blessing and the most rewarding job I've ever had.

I turn on the radio now and I don't have anything against a lot of sequenced and programmed and electronic music, a lot of it is dope and it's the future. It's what popular music has evolved to.

I think the one thing for me that's been working is just authenticity.
