I Used To Feel So Shy Speaking

Well The First Time I Performed, My Mom Was Like How She Is Now When Sees Me On Stage – All Red, Smiling From Ear To Ear. So I Don’t Want To Mess Up, [be]cause She’s Smiling. Seeing My Mom Happy Is Kind Of Like An Overwhelming Feeling.

I Tried To Stay Away From The Euro Beats, And Not Go Totally Pop. Instead, I Wanted To Take The Quincy Jones Approach. The Record Pays Homage To The Stevie Wonders, The Michael Jacksons, The Sam Cookes. I Wanted To Put That Classic Essence Of R&b And Soul With The New Age Of Music Now. There’s A Lot Of Live Instruments, And A Lot Less Auto-tune. I Really Wanted To Demonstrate My Vocal Ability, Creating The Vibe Of Me Singing Along With A Band.

Having The Right People Around You All The Time Is Important. I Do Take The Acting Seriously. But This Is All Fun. I Look At It Like Smoke And Mirrors. I Still Think It's A Dream, But I Ain't Pinching Myself Yet.

It's Not My Job To Try To Persuade People To Love Me, It's Only To Try To Make Them Love The Music

I'm Gonna Do Clothes, But Stuff That Kids Can Afford. I Want To Get Into The High Fashion World Very Soon, But The Stuff I Want To Start Out With Is The Small Stuff, For The Kids, That Anybody Can Afford The Nikes, Or The Jordans, Or Let's Say They Can't Afford The Big Brand Name Clothes, So I Would Make A Lower End Line But Still High-quality.
