Everybody is looking for a hit single but what the artists really need is an executive producer to help put better albums out.

I have no problem with thinking small. Sometimes you have to think small first in order to think big.

Albums aren't even selling anymore and there's a reason for that. Record companies are just signing single and ring tone deals and it doesn't seem like they're focusing on albums.

I grew up in the church not being able to listen to anything but gospel. So, while [other] people grew up with their parents listening to Marvin Gaye and Aretha Franklin, I never knew they existed until I was able to listen to what I wanted to.

You can't have somebody guide you through everything - some things you have to learn on your own.

I like so many different genres of music that I guess it would be hard for me to pick one person who inspires me when so many people inspire me to make good music.

God is my spiritual guide. Half the music I come up with I really don't know where it comes from.
