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.

I grew up in Oakland and Berkeley, California.

I think my style revolves around the philosophy that less is more, that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. That goes for my taste in design and in clothes, and even affects the way I approach music. I'm all about keeping things simple, and minimal, but being able to convey something powerful through that approach.

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.

I think it's important to evolve and grow and take risks creatively, instead of repeating yourself and doing the same thing over and over.

Anybody can have a great album in themselves but it's not until you bring it out and put it into tangible form and creating it and working on it in the studio that all of that comes to life you know what I mean?

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.
