I associate creativity with independent music.
I fell in love with funk music through my father - Funkadelic - as well as soul and classical early on.
I always had a fascination with music.

I'm really excited to put music out that is a clear projection of my lifestyle.
It was important for me to remind people that there's no formula... there's no boundary to R&B music.

I'm not necessarily that big of a clubbing junkie, but I really like dance music as a genre.
The music industry doesn't exist the way it used to. You'll never have another star like the stars of the '90s.
