“Sometimes I hate writing songs. Because it hurts sometimes. I'm very emotional.”
“I started writing songs before I could talk - at three or four. It was in me, and I had to get it out. It was all freestyle, which is how I write anyway. I don't write the words down; I scat and come up with the melody, then the lyrics.”
“The way I write music for other artists is the same way I write music for myself. I'll pick up the guitar, and I'll write music, and if I don't use it, I have, like, 500 other songs. If I don't use it, I give it away.”
“Authenticity can't be replicated or faked. You're either real or you're not.”
“I've seen people pass away. I've seen how fragile life is.”
“I fell in love with singing, and through singing, I learned how to write songs. Anything you're consistent with and that you do all the time, you're gonna reap benefits off it at one point. You're not gonna get worse!”
“My dad raised me on everything from his music to Stevie Wonder to A Tribe Called Quest. I learned the 'Midnight Marauders' album in and out.”
“I got to meet Kanye West because we were shopping my artist deal, and I was interested in his label. When I met him, I played him all the records I had. He introduced me to Rihanna, and she recorded and cut some of those records.”
“Daring is doing. Daring is asking something outrageous despite your chances of failure and rejection. Daring is going out on a limb by believing in something that no one else understands, and if all fails, daring is trying again.”
“A writer is an artist. They're creating things out of thin air.”
“The only thing I can control is myself. I can't control what anyone thinks about me, I can't control circumstance, I can't control the things that God controls.”
“My talent before singing is being able to interpret and understand my emotions. I've felt pain and felt it intensely, so every time I sing, I revisit it.”
“People who are their own entity and aren't afraid to be who they are can move a nation. I believe the height of my career is going to be during the start of a revolution.”
“I'm just tryna make real music. I don't want to force the people to follow me.”
“I write songs every day, 14 times a day.”
“I love making music. I love that it's unstructured, that I get to go perform and play in front of people, to meet new people. I love to do the thing I'm best at every day.”
“I think a lot of my angst comes from feeling unaccepted.”
“I would never say I 'play' guitar. But yeah, I play to write. Same with piano.”
“Me going to college was not an option.”
“Music is the way I talk to people.”
