There's a lot of stuff in the club that's like, it's cool there because you're drinking and all you wanna do is do ignorant sh*t.

I would say that the most complex style of singing comes from India. Real, classical Indian music produces probably the best technical and natural singers in the world, just because the patterns and the inflection are so complex in how the style moves and what it requires vocally. I think the best classical singers come from India.

I embrace that I'm different. That I'm unique.

Art is based on emotion, but being macho is based on ego; the wall protecting that emotion.

I don't think I live the lifestyle that's expected of a quote unquote R&B artist. I'm just not that dude.
