When I Was Coming Up,

I'm A Big Advocate Of Music Being An Honest Representation Of Who You Are As A Person And Your Perspective.

Most People Know My Music Based On The Singles, And Think Of It As Scandalously Romantic. There's Definitely A Romantic Vibe, But I Often Sing Things That Are Very Direct. I Don't Beat Around The Bush Much.

I Feel Like R&b As A Genre Has Become A Caricature Of Itself.

I Want To Be Transparent, So I Don't Leave Room For Too Much Thinking.

A Lot Of People Forget That R&b Put Hip-hop On, R&b Put Rock On.
