“I really just like making music.”

Can’t come down from the high you give me.

Get ready for the death race for love experience!

I started recording in my sophomore year in high school. I recorded things on my cell phone in my basement.

Me and The Weeknd would make a diamond record.

In this life we live it’s hard to find a soul to trust, you can never trust a soul too much.

For my city, for my family, for my friends, n for myself, all praises to God.

See the light through all the darkness.

Words have a lot of power.

If you’re able to control your dreams, you have more power and control over your mind, like you could reach more areas of your mind.

The Week of Greatness is back, and I never left.

I don’t want to get lost in everything. I just want to keep the same work ethic.

Even if I’m talking about something that’s negative, I look at it as putting my mistakes out there for people to learn from it.

I never thought about college, but my mom thought about it for me. I knew 100 percent it wasn’t for me.

I don’t know why they hate me but it don’t matter because you love me.

I think it’s important to add a personal aspect to your music – that’s what makes it authentic at the end of the day.

My style is boho chic. I love that time period – the patterns, the prints, the people, the music, the vibe.

I don’t think music can be held. I don’t think artists can be put into boxes or places. It’s all about creating and making the best music you can.

Songwriting is my main thing. I know that I’ll do that for the rest of my life.

All my music is inspirational. You just gotta listen to the words and get what you can get out of it.

If I hadn’t had Freddie Mercury’s lyrics to hold on to as a kid I don’t know where I would be. It taught me about all forms of music… it would open my mind. I never really had a bigger teacher in my whole life.

I’ve looked at pictures that my mom has of me, from when I was four years old at the turntable. I’m there, reaching up to play the records. I feel like I was bred to do what I do. I’ve been into music, and listening to music and critiquing it, my whole life.

Nothing’s going to keep me from making music. If I were in the want-ads in the back of the paper or playing to six people at a coffee shop, I’d still love to make music.

I suppose I’ve always been attracted to this sort of outsider in general – in literature, in music, politics, whatever – and to the person that is able to be relentlessly themselves. I don’t think that I have that quality, that strength of mind.
