I'm not unknown, yet I'm not super famous where I can't go anywhere.

I'm very new to the industry. I'm not on the Billboard 200 and that is alarming to me. But when I sat down with my management they said it's not a big deal and that it happens all the time.

There is a fine line between assertiveness and being relaxed.

When you have a very hot single there is no reason why it can't drive album sales. People fall off and come back on. I'm looking forward to coming back on with a vengeance.

I would love to be like a Brian McKnight. Shoot, I'd love to be Brian McKnight.

I've been working on something, just some jazz, relaxed stuff. It will be standard, just piano and voice. It started out as a fun project for me though, I'm still not sure about releasing it.

I am very conscious of what I say and do when I go out because the media is quick to make that a story.
