If I collaborate with people, ideas...they take interesting turns and twists, and I'm excited for that and that process and excited to see what we come up with.

My line is probably a little more conservative than some of my compatriots in the business. But again, I think it's all - like, it just - it comes down to me knowing who I am and knowing how I want to be seen in the world, how I want to discuss things.

For me I'm actually doing what I normally do when I do my solo thing and the other thing is actually more new to me.

In the 1970s, for all the Stevie Wonders, I'm sure there were five artists that were making forgettable music.

Music business is not for everyone. But if you have it in you, you have that passion, if you have that energy in you that you really want to make something creative and make something that's going to impact the world, then go for it, do it and don't let anybody tell you no.

I always saw myself as a singer-songwriter, a solo-artist, that's why working with other artists was never satisfying for me.

I just want it to be timeless and timely at the same time.
