It's a really good time for California right now in music.

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

If you get comfortable, that's how you fall off.

I want to tell every fan that I appreciate them with a retweet or reply but I don't want my account to lose my own tweets. I don't my fans to have to go through a bunch of replies to get to my own tweets right? In the big picture though I do read all of the tweets and I appreciate all of my followers and my fans.

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.

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 am involved in every step of the process [musicmaking]. Whether it is the production or the mixing or the visuals and music videos. I'm involved in every step of the way as far as the creative, directing and merchandise . Just making sure everything that falls in line with my brand is portrayed a certain type of way. It all about quality control and attention to detail, and making sure anything you put your name on is on point.
