Brandy is one of my favorite vocalists. Jay-Z is my favorite emcee outside of Biggie.

I'm excited about being able to write and produce songs from an executive standpoint as well as the business side of it and the political side of it. I'm working on angles when it comes to the music business because I feel like that's the only way you can become a mogul.

I always say this to people: 'If Shaq can be in the NBA for 19 years and dominate for 19 years using his body, why can't I be in the music industry for 50 years using my brain when my brain is way stronger than anyone's body?' I have to have a successful record company, more hit records. I want to dominate the game.

I listen to all types of different music. I go to different festivals. I'm around music.

I work every single day, even on Sundays.

A song is a song and a hit record can change a life.

It's a gift that I have and I became good at it. When I heard my first song I didn't even know that I could write songs.
