I've just always been a reader. My grandmother just expressed the importance of literacy, if I said that correctly. She just always expressed the importance of being able to write and being able to read.

I love to be clean. I wear the same things, all of my clothes pretty much look the same. I'm a plain and simple type of guy. I don't really do a lotta busy colors and things of that nature. I feel like less is more.

I can't say any artist inspired me, because I'm inspired by the things that go on around me.

My grandmother was an English teacher for a while. And she stressed to me the importance of reading, being able to articulate well.

I know my voice is very distinctive because in a room of 100 people, my voice is always picked out.
