I've literally become comfortable with approaching whatever style of music at any time.

You know, being able to, in my mind, have a song that you know doesn't really have any loose ends or you know, extra fat in it, so to speak.

I think I'm more influenced, just in general, not by blues artists, but more by stuff from Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder is probably my biggest musical influence of all. And Donny Hathaway.

I've been getting into different gospel artists; Aretha Franklin is someone I've been listening to a lot of.

I feel so blessed, and God has been so good to me.

I always knew I wanted to be a musician.

I think it's like everything you do is just a reflection of who you are as an artist.
