I can tell you this: I'm an extremely passionate individual. I try to be careful how I display it because you never know how people are going to take it.

As a musician, I look for certain things that stimulate me. And what I look for is something that's an evolution on a particular genre that I never heard before.

If I remain true to what's in my heart, that's all the success I need.

That's the thing about great artists: They find the thing that's most obvious to themselves, what's most conscious and natural, and they put it out there and the audience comes.

It is only the most elite of elite musicians whose unconventional approach becomes convention.
