With My Being From Hawaii And Being

A Lot Of People Are Really Quick To Say, "that Song Sounds Like This." Or You - "he's Tryin' To Sound Like This." And I'm Always Like, "you're Damn Right I Am. That's How - That's Why We're All Here." You Know, We All Grew Up Idolizing Another Musician. That's How This Works. That's How Music Is Created.

I Don't Like Two Stories. I Like One Story. I Never Grew Up With Stairs. I Like To Stick To What I Know.

My Father's A Musician And My Mother's A Singer. My Dad's Originally From Brooklyn And He Was A Latin Percussionist So I've Always Had Instruments Around The House. He Used To Have A Show Like A 1950s Rock And Roll Show With Little Richard Music. They Would Do Doo-wop Songs And Stuff Like That.

I'm A Big Fan Of Songs Like Joe Cocker's 'you Are So Beautiful' And Eric Clapton's 'wonderful Tonight' - Songs That Go Straight To The Point.

As Proud As I Am Of Doo-wops I Feel Like, 'oh, Man. People Haven't Seen Nothing. They Don't Even Know What I'm About To Do,' And That's What I Can't Wait To Show The World.
