Everybody wants me to be the (guy) who's (sleeping with) every celebrity woman in the industry. Everybody wants me to be this (guy) in the club, popping 17 bottles just because. Everybody wants me to be Diddy, and that's not me.

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

My style is mainly about comfort. It has to be comfortable, it has to lay right on me, know what I mean?

I feel there is always room for good music. I want to reach people's soul with my lyrics through whatever vessel God chooses.

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

If you want to be successful, you have to be the best person doing it. And in order to be the best person doing it, you have to get your work ethic right and keep going.

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.
