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

To me, as a musician, there aren't any boundaries genre-wise as far as what can you listen to to inspire you.

I think the most important thing is that I'm making music that the people enjoy. So the fans, the people that are out there listening to music and consuming music, I want them to enjoy it and love it. And so that's more important to me than Grammys.

Sometimes there's that perfect moment when the crowd, the music, the energy of the room come together in a way that brings me to tears.

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

When I write, I don't really focus on duets or anything like that, or whether I'm going to feature this or that rapper. I just focus on just making a great song and figure out the rest later.
