The grass isn't always greener on the other side. I start off kind of in love and then I leave love and I'm single.

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

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

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.

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

I can write hundreds of songs on simple power chords.

I think what I'm trying to build is a reputation for evolving and for change. Because of the rate of information that we have access to at this point, it's almost hard not to be ever-growing.
