“Originality is definitely missing from EDM. There are people looking for it and exploring but I feel it's so big now it is just getting milked. House music is losing all its melody as it becomes more about how dirty the drop is and how energetic it is. It loses touch with what music really is.”

“My dad has always been a big Ray Charles fan, and I've grown up listening to all kinds of music.”

“Dance music is like a virus: it has affected so many different genres.”

“I actually had a bunch of songs that I worked on with Jamey Jasta from Hatebreed, but they were too heavy for me because my voice sounds good when I sing clean. It sounds good dirty too, but when I hear my voice sing really clean, that's a special sound.”

“It's time to give back; you know, I've lived in this beautiful world of fashion for so long, and it's time to really get my hands dirty and get in the trenches and see the world for what it really is.”

“I could never be dirty in front of my parents. Not that that's the only thing stopping me. It just was never going to happen.”
