I really try to wake up with my music the same as I do with my life, and that is with no expectations. I just feel what I feel that day and follow it.

My gift and my curse is that I really want to be loved. What drives me to make music is love - whether it's shallow or deep or whatever. I want to do things that make people love me.

Growing up, I loved Bill Cosby.

While other kids played with cars and toys, I listened to music all day. I wanted to sing it and learn it.

I'd like to collaborate with Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige.

Being critical is not something I like to do. I like to appreciate and inspire.
