I will continue to work hard until I get to where I want to be.

I was raised by my father, who was a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and bass player. His brothers all did the same thing, so I was kind of always raised around the music.

Even in school, I used to get kicked out in every class except music. I was always at the top of my class in music.

Songwriting was definitely first. I started singing, and then I was rapping; then I went back to singing. As I was growing up, I just taught myself piano and guitar.

I like to sing R&B slow jams. It's always been my thing.

'X Factor' did a lot for me, but things truly started to take off for me when I went to social media.

Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.

Diplomacy, n. is the art of letting somebody else have your way.

Art is commenting on what's going on around you in your life.

Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.

Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.

The attitude is very important. Because, your behavior radiates how you feel.
