You can't be a 25-year-old forever.

Critics like to describe and categorize things, and categories often have a way of limiting people.

Sometimes success is just limited to festival circuit.

My mother, I want her to like my music, but she's not exactly my target audience. So I care more about the fans in general, just making sure they enjoy what I do.

My family is very musical, I was surrounded by it. And from four years old I was the one that asked my mother could I take piano lessons.

But in my mind I've always been a solo artist- I've just been working with a lot of great people like Kanye and Alicia Keys and Jay-Z.

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