If you're not putting enough time into the music, there's not gonna be a whole lot of it. So in my eyes, success is just being able to do what I love for a living, spend all my time doing it, connect with fans, and continue that for a long f - king time.

In my dorm room, I was a hermit making music, I've always had a sense of urgency that I don't have forever to make this happen.

I wear what I like to wear, I don't pick out clothes to try to fit in or whatever, I just like what I like.

I grew up in Oakland and Berkeley, California.

A song or an album is never really done. You can work on it forever, but knowing when to call it a day and knowing when to walk away from it is extremely important.

Just wearing all black comes from Johnny Cash. I'm on the road so much that if I wear all black my clothes never get dirty. You can't tell if I've worn the same shirt twice.

It's important to push yourself to get better at your craft - whatever that is. It's important to grow and evolve with each project.
