"I've always had good support of parents for doing what I wanted to do. When it became music they were just as supportive as well."
"I have an urban background, but I need melody, I need a song, so I try to mix and match and keep it fluid."
"When a song comes from a real story and from a real place I think it comes across to people. That's important."
"I believe the things I love inwardly will be received by the right people outwardly. I believe that what I believe in will be received well. I try to keep that as a foundation to what I do."
"Some people say that music isn't something you are; it's something you do. It's having a constant desire to share and express. But I believe it's something you are. To me it's more inward."
