So in every sense, from an independent artist to a major label artist, you just have to have great product, great faith and great people, they all go together.

Any success matters to me.

There's always a story in music, and it's expressed through my music.

I love energy and people; gosh I love people even when they got on my nerves.

I'm not competing with anyone, or begging someone to love me. I feel like I'm loved and I deserve to be where I am.

I am very proud of Zendaya for standing up for herself, her generation and her ancestors. Her response was classy. Locs are a lifestyle for some and for others an artistic fashion statement..In either case, the images express power, natural beauty, and a boldness that always stands out. It is when you truly spend time with a person that you know who they really are on the inside, and not by what you see on the outside.

There ain't a wrong time or a wrong place to flaunt. If you feel good, then go on and show it off!
