It’d be negligent to say that I don’t want to be at the top of the charts. Of course I do, it’s proof that your song is being heard. But I think it’s more about the work for me and being proud of what I’m doing in music than what people think about my music.
I’m not going too far with it, but it’ll be within my roots. I feel like trying a different way to express my music because so many people have already taken from what I’ve done in the past and it kind of makes me not want to ever do anything that I’ve done before.
It feels amazing to be back on set. It feels like home, even though the territory is a little bit unfamiliar because it’s a new show, it’s a new character, but once you get in the groove and you start to settle in and trust the moment, you start to really feel at home.
Whitney Houston is my idol and my mentor and my dream forever, like she will always be my favorite artist, ever, on the planet. Like I don’t think I’ll ever feel that way about another artist.
That’s the beautiful part about acting – you get to play somebody other than yourself. So, I’m open to people who can’t sing, people who can, people that sing a little bit, or people that sing a lot.
All I could think about was, ‘I just wanna blow him away. I wanna make him proud, because I really wanna sign with Timbaland and spend the rest of my career making music with Tim.’
I take conscious breaks for myself ’cause I like to rejuvenate and get my creative juices flowing. I also like to take my time with my creativity; I think it’s important.
It just feels like I’m on the right path musically and I’m in the right mindset to continue out my mission in music because I’m not putting myself in a box.
