I pride myself on being the type of artist who can work half in the R&B world and half in the pop world.

Michael Jackson will live forever through the thing that he put all of his life energy into: his music. I will do my part to keep the melody alive, to keep the energy forever changing form, but never ever dying!! Long live Michael Jackson.

Fear is a healthy part of success.

I don't want to call myself a perfectionist because perfection is imperfection.

I want to write for people that are trying to do some kind of quality music. What I mean by quality music is not so much the trend, what is hot right now. I don't write trendy, I write what feels good and something that feels good will never get old. Timeless music is what I try to shoot for.

I pride myself on being the type of artist who can work half in the R&B world and half in the pop world.

I'm 100% real, even when what's real is ugly. I don't take any pride in covering up, hiding and lying.
