I listen to a lot of 80s stuff, like Owner of a Lonely Heart, by the group Yes. And Mr. Misters Broken Wings.

I'm trying to do something real different; I'm trying to bring the street to real pop. I'm trying to bring the street to pop. Not watering it down, no nothing.

I'm definitely a risk-taker with my music.

Everyone wants to work with the big new producer or the hot new singer. The key is to find them before they're hot.
