I do take enormous interest in what's going on. I try to see whatever I can, whenever I can.

Most of the stuff that I do talk about, about being counted out and being an underdog, 'cause that's what I feel like I am.

I didn't even know the industry of songwriting existed. I thought everybody sang songs and they were only singing the songs that they wrote. So after I found out about songwriting in college, I was like, "Okay, I want to do that."

I'm doing quite a lot of painting on stones - little funny fish and animals.

I think it does surprise me a bit when people have a very fixed idea of what I'm like, based upon the work that I do, which is something that is very separate.

If anything, I hope being an artist opens up more opportunities 'cause I feel there's a lot of things I could do, like musically and stylistic-wise that I can write, but I don't really have an avenue to show it 'cause most of the things I'm writing are in Hip Hop.

Writing is something that I practice at every day to get better at.
