I Just Liked The Feeling Of Being On Stage. My Parents Weren't Pushing Me, They Didn't Have To, I Was Obsessed.

I Had A Couple Albums Out That Sold Well For Who I Was At The Time And The Type Of Music I Played. People Started Recognizing My Name And Face And It Helped Sell Bigger Venues. I Had A Bigger Spotlight And I Had To Live Up To It But I Thrived Under That Challenge. It Expedited The Creative Process. If I Was On Stage In Front Of 300 People Instead Of 30, I Had To Work Harder At My Performances Because I Had A Greater Responsibility. It Was Very Exciting, But Creative Too.
