“I was an average student. I wasn’t any standout. I remember when people started to know who I was and the label offers, people started to get a little weird and be weird around me.”

I’m kind of still learning my voice and learning my style.

I used to write stories. Handwriting stories in school were a big deal for me. That’s kind of what I did.

You look back at people like Elvis and The Beatles and still get their music because it’s timeless. That’s what I want.

I’ve never had a scandal, but I don’t know if that’s so much because I’m perfect, or because people aren’t caring enough yet. Give it some time. I’ll probably be very upset, but it’s a part of the gig.

As soon as I get time, I really wanna dig down and do some acting.

I’m tortured because I care. I’m always upset about not doing things as good as I think I could have because I care.

My first Vine I really just posted out of spontaneity.

I’m not the best singer in the world; I’m just good at picking up what I want to sound like.

Absolutely, I never stop working on new music.

I have a song called ‘I Don’t Even Know Your Name’ which I think is going to be well liked across the board.

I think my all time favourite song would be between ‘Slow Dancing in a Burning Room’ and ‘Dreaming with a Broken Heart’ by John Mayer.

I loved Nashville. I was amazed by the whole place.

I’m not just writing songs that are narrating my life, but everyone else around my age because they’re super-relatable.

You have to work the crowd.

I’m not a rapper.

Definitely, it’s hard being a young artist and being taken seriously.

People who work every day are kind of scared of things they don’t understand.

I feel like if you flip through my Instagram, you’ll kind of see the same angles and poses every time. That’s the trick to having people love your Instagram selfies. It’s all about your angles.

People are always coming up to me, thinking I’ve got some magic wand that can make them a star and I want to tell them that no one can do that. Making hit records is not that easy. But it took me time to realize that myself.

People who know me know that if I say I’m going to do something, I’m doing it. I am hungry. I am determined.

I want the people to be able to see me and be able to see a great performance.

I’m a realist and a dreamer. There are certain things you can give certain people and certain things you can’t.

If anyone wants to abuse other people for whatever colour, race or creed they are, then it’s just stupidness, isn’t it?

Empty boxes pleading empty boxes to fill them with peace and love.
