Money isnt what drives me, getting fans who truly understand what I'm about and want to see me live is where my head is at.

I get to focus on something I love to do 24-hours a day rather than trying to squeeze it in between midterms, or even during my normal workday. When I was at Google it was like you wake up at 7 and then you get home by 7 and you start your second job of music. So now I get to focus all my efforts on music, travel and play shows and do all of this stuff. That's the difference - That's all my life is, all day.

I feel like I have a very unique perspective especially for someone in the hip-hop genre. I'm not afraid to explore it, and how my upbringing then shapes my music and being a New York kid and all of that stuff...that's really the most unique thing I can offer to the music in general.

I guess this is cliche, but I'd love to work with Kanye West, Mark Ronson, Diplo.

My fans are the only people who will be with me forever, all else comes and goes.

I think my music is born out of the music that I personally like to listen to. I love amazing singer-songwriters and diverse artists but it's important to know your strengths.

I am a musician, a songwriter, music fan. I live in New York City and I love my job.
