I've learned that you simply can't control those bad vibes.

I approach everything in my life the same way; if it feels right, I know it.

I'm responsive to my public, but I also follow my heart.

I just started as a part of the public school music program. I took lessons at the school every Friday and was a part of the school band. I was just a normal kid taking instrumental lessons at school, nothing special.

It's important to let each artist do what makes him or her feel comfortable. Success should be a by-product of that.

What is music anyway? It's a form of communication, and that's why I play the kind of music that I think - that I hope - can communicate with people.

Maybe the biggest thing that I've learned musically is that anything is possible. Things can work when maybe they don't seem like they can.
