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

When I'm a part of someone else's creative process, it's all about facilitating their ideas and hopefully bringing their perspective and making it a part of a song.

I think my style as far as vocal delivery and even down to the pronunciation of certain words is so deliberate.

The whole cultural diversity and musical diversity, I think they almost go hand in hand, you know? It's like a mind space or a it's having an open mind to what else is out there.

I mean, there's plenty of artists who are making R&B music, but because of their ethnicity, it's considered something else.

I have this propensity to just come out and say things. That's how I am in real life.

I want to be transparent, so I don't leave room for too much thinking.
