“Every time I hit the stage I try to take something from it.”

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.

But at the same time, there’s still a classy side to me that I’ve seen in Oakland as well.

I like to just take all of them and allow them to help me build.

When you have somebody who takes their craft seriously, you don’t have to babysit them and be there all the time.

The influence that Oakland has on my sound is about 90%.

No matter is going on, I have something for that time or era.

I am so weak over love and heartbreak.

There’s so many different elements to Oakland.

I feel that when you have a passion and you are real.

It’s straight and narrow, you can see the growth and understand that I’m not afraid to give you honesty and be honest about anything that has to do with my story.

I feel like pain is the quickest way to relate to someone because everybody has been through that and everybody has had a heartbreak.

I do my best to tell a story whenever I write music because I want to paint the most vivid picture that tells a story whether a person is falling in love for the first time or going through a painful heartbreak.

I’m one of the artists that even though I love my soulful stuff, I love to turn up and have a good time and that’s another side of me.

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

You must not believe anyone in the search for truth; you have to find out for yourself. But although you are on your own, help will come when it is really needed.

A good teacher helps you explore the maximum.

Disruption never helps your cause. … It just looks like you’re afraid to have rational discussion.

The greatest help you will ever have in this life is the Holy Ghost! Cultivate him as a friend and constant companion.

If we don’t help each other, who will?

We cannot, of course, save the World because we do not have authority over its parts. We can serve the world though. That is everyone’s calling, to lead a life that helps.

To excel is to reach your own highest dream. But you must also help others, where and when you can, to reach theirs. Personal gain is empty if you do not feel you have positively touched another’s life.

There can be no greater act of kindness than to help others when your own world has been destroyed.
