“I have such a personal life history with R&B - it's the first music I ...” — Giveon Quote

I have such a personal life history with R&B - it's the first music I remember hearing, and it feels like a family tradition.

Yeah, I used to write short stories at first, but once you work on something, you want to show people. My peers weren't interested in me reading 30-40 pages to them.

I think people could get obsessed with the idea of perfection. So with that, you kind of stray away from your raw imperfections. Like, I don't think people realize that people are OK with you missing a note here or hearing the rasp in your voice.

My debut project was during a pandemic, so I was in the house and never got to see the people who listened.

The hardest part is writing a song as a story. A song is so short and there are only so many words that every line has to hit. The words have to flow. You can't say certain words that sound weird next to each other, you can't repeat words too much.

I don't like to talk about my personal life, so I will not talk about others. I don't give advice. I give advice to only my mother, father, and brother on health.

Some people don't like telling about personal life. I don't like it, either, but you want to tell the fans where I'm growing up, how I did it, who supports me - see my house, my family. It's nice.

No one is supposed to know about my personal life because that is supposed to be kept private.

I wouldn't be able to have the successes in my career if it weren't for the happiness in my personal life.
