Be In Control. Know Who You Are.

You Can't Knock On Opportunity's Door And Not Be Ready.

Hawaii Is Paradise. It Sounds Cheesy To Say It, But There's Music In The Air There.

I Feel It's My Job To Continue Being A Student Of Music If I Want To Continue Being An Artist And A Producer Of Other Artists. You Have To Keep Filling Your Mind With Other Music. You Have To Be Ahead Of The Curve.

My Father Moved To Hawaii From Brooklyn And My Mother Came There As A Child From The Philippines. They Met At A Show Where My Dad Was Playing Percussion. My Mom Was A Hula Dancer.

People Can Hear My Songs Are Coming From Something Real. I Mean What I Say; I'm Not Just Writing To Impress Critics Or Young Girls, Or Older Girls. The Way I Talk Is The Way I Write A Song.
