“I’m not a Reggaeton artist and I’m not a Crunk artist either.”

Simplicity is the key to success.

I feel like I’ve been fighting in music and creating new ways and new opportunities to make things work even when people thought it wouldn’t.

Music to me is something I did as a hobby.

I’m sharp, What the street taught me how to do is how to hustle. How to make something out of nothing.

As Americans, which I suffer from myself, we have ADD.

In any country when you throw something in somebody’s face, it’s disrespectful.

Life is to live it, not to let it live you.

Everyday above ground is a great day, remember that.

I’m definitely someone who enjoys life and wakes up with a ball of energy.

Don’t just give me an advance. I want a percentage.

I’m so passionate about making good music.

One thing that’s never gonna go, you know, go sour is good music.

I think of fans like a barbershop. I want that debate.

I’m taking all the negatives in my life, and turning them into a positive.

I don’t understand the word ‘lose’, I only understand the word ‘learn’

My motivational music is any music that helps me escape. There are certain records that take you to euphoria, when you’re partying and havin’ a good time, dancin’ with a couple people.

An artist could have a really big relationship, and then they break up, and any song after that, people are automatically going to assume that that song is about that person.

The artist is not a man who describes, but a man who feels.

And this is what was fascinating to me about ‘The Help’; they were ordinary people who did extraordinary things.

The moment artists can just do what they love to do then music will go right back to where it used to be. I mean back in the ’60s and ’70s and ’80s, that’s what it was.

Just because I’m an artist doesn’t mean I should be treated differently.

I’m gonna write from personal experience, from emotion, from whatever the hell I’m feeling that day.

Do not hate or fear the artist in yourselves… Honor and love him do not try to possess him. Trust him as nobly as you trust tomorrow. Only the artist in yourself is more truthful than the night.

As the artist paints, he creates his own reality. He only needs inspiration, and all the boundaries between dreams and reality are dissolved so anything is possible.
