I think I'll always make music that sounds different from what is current, but I doubt that it'll sound consistently the same as what I've been doing.

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

What is missing in a lot of urban music is perspective. You hear a lot of regurgitated perspective. It's a lot of: out at the club. Had drinks. Patrón. Big booties. It's this regurgitated idea of living in this, I don't know, one-night-stand moment that always starts at the club and Patrón. And so perspective, perspective, perspective is what I'm an advocate of.

PERSONAL IMPORTANCE or taking things personally, is an expression of SELFISHNESS because we make the assumption that everything is about ME!! NOTHING PEOPLE DO IS BECAUSE OF YOU!! IT'S BECAUSE OF THEMSELVES!!

I think what I bring to the table overall is a sense of my own individuality, especially in the urban-male spectrum of what is here and now.

There's just something really, really timeless about live instruments. There's just something special about them that you can't really duplicate or grasp without including live instruments.

I think in a world where everyone wants to categorize and compartmentalize and rationalize, it's OK to be different.
