First thing I do [in the morning] is thank the master. I thank God every day.

So many people just have that innate thing that allows them to express themselves in a way the majority can follow. That's when you're affecting culture.

Whatever you want to do is more than possible. It’s what you haven’t dreamt of yet that will blow your mind

The odds are so stacked against you to have a music career in a place where there's virtually no music industry. So I always attribute it to God.

If someone asks me what inspires me, I always say, "That which is missing," because I don't want to copy everything that's already happening. I feel like when you copy, you blend in, and when you blend in, you get lost.

Right now, musically I'm inspired by everyday people.

Living your life 40 floors up, looking out every day on ocean and skies, you see the world from a different point of view. It's like living in a very interesting fishbowl, but since no one can see up here, it's like a fishbowl with a limo tint.
