Nowhere on earth has more soul than Detroit.

I just want to make music as long as I can and reach as many people as I can.

My intentions with any of my music is to keep it futuristic and updated and be experimental and try new things.

A lot of people think I live in a soul bubble.

Having stuff that fits you perfectly makes the craziest difference. I remember the first times that I was introduced to that - having a shirt that's actually tailored to your body and not just made for your average American. It just changes your life.

My grandma Ricky - that's where I got classic look from. She was the most stylish person ever. She had her own clothing store and even her furniture was stylish. I got my "Flashy, but classy" motto from her, too. Whenever she walked in the room, she was always the most stylish person in the room.

I make soul music for hip-hop heads. It's music I'd want to sample if I were a rapper.
