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

I think at any point, as an artist, whatever the medium - just having an audience means the world.

A lot of people forget that R&B put hip-hop on, R&B put rock on.

I can write hundreds of songs on simple power chords.

I have learned that you're only relevant to someone if you're beneficial to them somehow/some way

For me, the creative process for me always starts in a personal place. I step away from my iPod or any records or CDs.

I'm not here to write a song for you, I'm here to help you write a song for yourself.
