The passion for sneakers has been there since day one, but I never held onto them. I never shrunkwrap them. It's always been about getting it, buying it, wearing it, showing it and moving on to the next one.

That competition grew through high school and you step outside more and it grew through college. Then you had regional style speak volumes through college. As you get older, and begin to travel and see more, that was the progression of style for me.

Of course fashion is definitely playing a part.

Women's style is so hard for me. I just know what I think looks good.

When I start a song, it's the first thought. It's the first thought and the first cadence, because that's the most natural.

I find myself trying to explain more, and explain the perspective of my mentality, or the mentality I'm trying to convey.

Fashion right now, people are so...everything is driven by the aesthetic.
