I played classical as a kid.

I've written good love songs when I have been in love and I've written good love songs when I haven't.

Music business is hard. It's very difficult. And it's not for everyone. Even if you can sing or even if you can write a song, it takes a lot of determination, it takes some kind of thick skin.

I was the front man of the choir and then when I was 12 and I was the leadsinger of my highschool groups.

As a young black boy, it made me proud to see black leaders that did something amazing and made the world change.

Now that I'm coming out with my own record people can see I'm a solo artist.
