I hope to touch many Hearts through my music

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.

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.

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.

I have fans from different cultures coming up to me saying that they don't understand what I'm singing but that they like the music.

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.

There are a lot of things going on that's causing a lot of these young kids to head in the wrong direction. I know a lot of kids that are cutting school. I try to give out a positive message, trying to get kids focused. If they don't then they're going to end up like every other hoodlum in the street.
