“For me, being 10 years old and seeing 'Jurassic Park' for the first time blew my mind. I want music to feel like that.”

“I feel like part of my journey as a filmmaker is to tell different stories, whether they are just a black perspective on things that aren't necessarily hood movies, or Tyler Perry movies or Ava DuVernay movies. Love all those people, but that whole thing has been sowed up already.”

“I feel like my music has a reputation for being pretty serious or whatnot, but I like having fun.”

“'Twilight' was a cult film, and the books were huge, but after 'New Moon,' it really blew up.”

“The first record blew up and sold really well. 'City of Black & White' didn't sell as well, and that's when you wonder, 'Did I peak already?'”

“I don't know, my music has always just come from where the wind blew me. Like where I'm at during a particular moment in time.”
