I am very lucky to have people who care about me and care about my music. I think it would be irresponsible to not show them as much love back as they show me.

Treat every person you interact with, with the same sort of attention and respect which you hope they will give to you.

I've kind of shut myself off to a lot of new music because I don't want to be influenced by it.

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

I never want a fan to come and hear what they hear on their iPod, its about creating a unqiue and awesome experience.

The cool thing about college tours is you make friends with a lot of other artists because the schools come in and they're looking to make a diverse grouping together and then it works out for everyone.

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.
