I never have, but I would love to pick R. Kelly's brain.

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

A big part of the Motown formula was, they took music and turned it into this sort of automotive assembly line. They were cranking out 10 songs a day in that studio, or more.

I try to make sure that I make music that can stand the test of time.

I shopped at J. Crew in high school, I studied computer science. I was a nerd-nerd, now I'm a music-nerd.

Drums, bass, guitar, keys, I play a little of each of those.

I'm trying to just drop so much music that people cannot ignore it.
