Fans have been very important in my career. Even though I'm just doing me and doing my thing, they're the captains of this ship.

Everything in life is a risk! I mean, you walk out onto the street and it's a risk! Don't you think?

Every time I collaborate with an artist, I want to surprise fans. I want to do something new.

I think behind every great man there's got to be a great woman, whether she's your wife, your girlfriend or not. I'm not gonna say that there's not that special girl out there. But I'm in the music biz, and I'm focused on the music.

I do want to give out a positive message and be successful.

I always used to sing in the shower, but I never really got into the music until a friend of mine helped me a lot with recording.

Normal, day-to-day things inspire you to write. I try to travel and chill, and go out and enjoy the outdoors. That makes you see the real world. Not just in the studio or at concerts. I live it up as normal as I can.
