Hands, touching hands, reaching out, touching me, touching you.

Brooklyn is not the easiest place to grow up in, although I wouldn't change that experience for anything.

I've spent my whole life trying to find out who I am, so I could express that through the music.

When I first started, I worked with three chords in every bar, but I found that tied me down - I'm not a chord-change writer, I'm a songwriter.

Very often the music comes first.

Nothing is sadder than love left unheard.

I do have a large audience overseas, and I want to continue to be an international artist.
