I learned from my teachers but became through my music

The fame and the money and all that stuff that comes along with it is all great, but that's not the sole purpose of why I make music.

I can write for weeks or months sometimes and edit it down to a song. I feel like it's a piece of music that will hopefully stand the test of time and hopefully capture a moment in history if I'm doing it correctly and honestly.

I find that when I put my spiritual life first, the rest of my life is easy. When I put my career first, that's when I have problems.

The skyline is etched in my veins. You can never put that out, no matter how hard it rains.

If I'm using drugs and alcohol, it means that I've given up on my fullest potential.

Strip away the fear, underneath it's all the same love
