The heart of man will always be dark. There will always be evil people. The problem is that there is nothing we can humanly do to change them Picture Quote #1

I don’t like a lot of attention. That’s kind of who I am at heart. So I see everything, the people circulating around me and a lot of people know me - it kind of feels like a heavy weight sometimes Picture Quote #1

I remember hanging out at Starbucks. There were these older guys who would sit around and play Crosby, Stills and Nash songs. I was just so in love with music. I would just go hang out with them, and I would try to sing and harmonize with them. I didn’t even know the songs Picture Quote #1

I’m coming from a Ginuwine and Usher background: slow and smooth songs. And that’s why I really connected to Sam Cooke, because he was just very smooth. It’s not like the James Brown types, which is all great stuff, but he was totally set apart from those guys Picture Quote #1

People tell me they use my song ‘Coming Home’ at their weddings. My audience seems to range from young to old, and it’s cool when you really get to connect with all different people Picture Quote #1

I like to wear short-sleeved collared shirts and high-waist trousers with shiny shoes. And at night, when I’m playing, I’ll often wear suits. But it started with my uncle’s vintage clothes Picture Quote #1

I shop at thrift stores and consignment shoppes. I wear my clothes as is, and maybe get them dry cleaned whenever possible Picture Quote #1

I’m very content to have great management and a great label. But for me, success started when my managers came to me and told me, ‘Go ahead and quit your job.’ I told them, ‘As long as I don’t have to wash dishes anymore, I’m good.’ Picture Quote #1

I don’t live in this soul music bubble. I love Young Thug, Drake, Kendrick Lamar. I even heard that Kendrick was a fan of my music. Hopefully there’s a door open for us to do music together.

Gospel music played a huge part of my life. I was too scared to audition for the choir, but through my own music, I was also able to find spirituality for myself Picture Quote #1

When I write, I talk about stories and things that are happening in my life. I come from the church. There was a time in my life when I actually had that transformation and relationship with God Picture Quote #1

My music is more than me writing a flashy soul song. They’re heartfelt songs about my family and true stories. I have also songs that aren’t personal, but just painting a picture. I don’t like being put under labels, but my music is going to continue to stay classic and timeless forever Picture Quote #1

I was 10 years old when I first heard Ginuwine. I remember being at a friend’s house, and the music video came on. I was just like, ‘What is that?’ I was just kind of drawn from there Picture Quote #1

From the core, I’m a shy person, but when I’m on stage, I know how to put it aside. Of course, I’m not perfect, but I’ve definitely grown as far as being comfortable on stage Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I’d be able to flat-out write a pop song and make it satisfying to me. I’m ready to make a consistent sound in whatever way I can Picture Quote #1

If I went crazy and tried to make pop music, my band wouldn’t record it! I love them too much to do that Picture Quote #1
