I Don't Feel Like That Many Musicians

Sometimes I Start Just On The Piano With A Melody Or Musical Idea That Kind Of Leads Me To Certain Lyrics.

Music Wasn't Forced On Me [in My Childhood]. It Was Something I Wanted To Do. And Ever Since, I've Never Stopped, I've Never Stopped Playing Music.

I Always Saw Myself As A Singer-songwriter, A Solo-artist, That's Why Working With Other Artists Was Never Satisfying For Me.

I Don't Really Marinate In Anybody's Album Because I Don't Really Want To Sound Like Anybody Else When I Put My Album Out. So I'd Rather Not Even Be Tempted To Listen To A Bunch Of Other Stuff With Any Degree Of Emersion In It, Cause I Just Don't Want To Sound Like Anything Else, So I Kinda Focus On My Own Music.

I've Felt Like My Last Name Put Pressure On Me As An Artist. If You're Going To Call Yourself "legend," You'd Better Make Some Good-ass Music.
