“It’s the best way for people to get to me know.”

My music is rhythm and blues and with that said, the blues element of it is a major portion.

I would pick Kendrick Lamar because he is so dope as an artist and I love his hustle and his passion.

I’m not afraid to have the ratchet side because that’s a part of me too. I like to turn up, I am from Oakland.

There are a lot of shows and opportunities to be seen like that.

Everything I do is about setting up for the next. I think that my confidence and belief in myself as well as the music and trusting my judgment of my songs really grew the most.

You last throughout the ages and you’re able to reincarnate your artistry numerous times.

It’s a competitive city, it’s full of just great artists and talent. It gave me the confidence, the passion, the realness I try my hardest to portray, so it has had about 90% influence on me.

I don’t like to veer away from the truth because I think that’s what people have fallen in love with about my music.

He is fearless and the way he comes to the music is like we share the same passion for what we do and with somebody from the West. In my opinion that would be a great collaboration.

They can go through the history and see a trail.

I feel that’s why people can connect so well with it because it’s all honest.

I can’t be passionate about something that I don’t understand. In my music.

My music is very raw, it’s emotional, and it’s honest.

Love and heartbreak is something that’s always been a part of me.

God often does His best work in us when He catches us by surprise and introduces a change that is completely against our own desire.

I have made an art form of the interview. The French are the best interviewers, despite their addiction to the triad, like all Cartesians.

And music the best friend of your mind.

You put all the other stuff aside and go out and do your job, and mine is to be the best I can be for my teammates.

It doesn’t matter what I think. It doesn’t matter what other people think. You have to get on the ice and participate and play and the best team wins.

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

I think sometimes in life the biggest challenges end up being the best things that happen in your life.

The best way to create emotional or spiritual distance between me and another person is for them to come up to me and go, ‘yaassssss.’
