I take pride in working very hard. You need to understand that hard work doesn't instantly pay off. My career grew gradually and taught me a lesson every step of the way.

Singing wasn't a reality for me, until other people started noticing I sounded good.

Petersburg, growing up at home, all by my family and friends, Petersburg really, city-raised me, you know everybody there.

I love music, so if I wasn't singing, I would probably still be working in the music industry. I love songwriting, so I'd probably be a songwriter.

I believe I am happy. I don't think I have achieved happiness in all areas of my life yet. As far as success is concerned, my family is being taken care of. But I think the last level of happiness would be becoming a father.

Love is hard to find, but love is one of a kind.
