That's why I'm happy and why I love this s**t because there's not a moment in the day that I don't feel like I can go in and create a monster record because I love making people feel good. That's my job.

Competitiveness drives my blood. I'm an athlete at heart and I just love the competition. I can't live without it. It's just a rush.

You just have to love yourself and live and die with the passion of the music. I walk around happy as hell because I create music for a living. I can touch the world with my heart and my passion. Music has dominated life well before I was ever born.

Outside of being a hit maker, I want to also be a star maker. Me being so young still as a veteran in the game, I wanted to give back to the youth and give back to my community. I want to find somebody that's special and birth them to the world.

You can't just have a good voice. You need a great voice, song, performance and video. When people see you, it all has to match up. There's a lot of missing parts in R&B right now. That's why it's not selling right now. Things that are irresistible, people will pay for it.

It's about being patient and working hard. People try to put the money before the work. You can't do that. You have to trust in God, trust in your feelings and the love of the music. Everything else will come.

That's why I'm happy and why I love this s**t because there's not a moment in the day that I don't feel like I can go in and create a monster record because I love making people feel good. That's my job.
