“I don’t wanna make hood music, I don’t wanna make street music, I want to make world music, global music, international music.”

I make music with no boundaries.

As far as the fans, I always say it because it’s the truth: without them I’m absolutely nothing.

Every time I reach a new audience, that means I’m doing something right.

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 my melodies are superior to my lyrics.

Music is my form of cleansing and introspection, so I have to grow in order to accomplish it. SZA

We don’t do it for the money, we do it for the music.

I just make music however I feel and pray that it connects, and if it does, I’m super thankful. I think genres are more for other people, not for yourself.

The best way to use the auto-tune is not to! And that’s what I do: I do not use auto-tune!

Music is the only religion that delivers the goods.

It was my love for the guitar that first got me into music and singing.

I don’t have a background in music, and I have a short attention span. If you put me in the studio every day, I’m gonna get lost.
