I'm honestly not a great gift giver. I could give better - my girlfriends have always complained about that.

My head’s under water but I’m breathing fine

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

I feel like my job is to make impact, spread love, tell great stories, inspire people, that's what I am going to do.

I want to make a better record than I made the last time. I want to grow. I want to discover new things about myself creatively.

Well, I was always a bit of a political junkie. Even as a kid I would read biographies of presidents and of civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King and Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington.

I hear melodies and hooks all day. I've always been that way, since I was a kid.
