It is a blessing. When I first got wind of [Chris Rivers] taking the rap thing serious and wanting to make a career out of it.

We've still got half of the world that don't know what I look like.

I'm a well rounded artist and I love to make music and create and be different. Hopefully I get the opportunity to show the world that.

With the way music is going right now, it's difficult for an r&b singer to make real music. If it's not with a trap beat and you're not mumbling, no disrespect to all of the great artists out there doing what they're doing, I'm not hating, I'm just saying it's difficult for r&b singers right now to make quality music.

I'm business savvy and my will is only to win. I can't hit rock bottom any lower. It's only up from here. The weight is off the shoulders with that.

I've got the new single "Close". We got the second single "Dance" we're going to follow up with. We're just making sure we make quality music the world can feel and that we can get on stage and have a presentation for the people.

We're not going to get into how many deals I've had. I don't think there is a label that I was signed to that we didn't deliver an album. Every time the album got ready to be mixed and mastered, it was always a situation. That's neither here nor there, because Tony Sunshine is a different guy now, a different entity.
