I think, back in the day, when I was first starting to make music, all I wanted to do was to get a record deal.

I think the special stuff [music] still finds a way to be heard, as long as you pair it with a good release strategy.

I'd have to say the best part of being successful is being able to take care of my mom so she never has to worry about anything again and also being able to put my friends and people I care about in positions to win.

I think when people get comfortable is when they fall off.

I listen to a wide array of music, all depends on the mood I'm in at the time.

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.
