Music is not math. It's science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.
You gotta know what you are, who you are and how you want to be portrayed.
It's just all love. That's what music is. That's why music is created. To make people feel good, to uplift people. That's what musicians are for: to give everyone an escape, to let everyone feel good and take people out of everyday problems, so that they can hear music and sing words that are hopefully relatable.
My goals are - I don't need much. I'm a simple man. I think that success is having fun. And when I'm having fun doing music, I'm happy. If I can make a little money on the side doing it, I'm really happy.
You pick up some fans and a handful of haters along the way.
Someone told me something that stuck with me: 'You have to envision your life, and then go backwards.' I've been living by that motto for a while, so I see where I need to be. Now I'm just backtracking and trying to get back up there.
It's about you putting in the work, practicing every day, and hopefully one day you write the song the whole world wants to get down to. And one day you're going to be sitting next to Ellen DeGeneres talking about how you broke records and rocked the Super Bowl!
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
When everything in life gets so complicated it only takes a day to change it
Hawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there's music in the air there.
You have to envision your life, and then go backwards.
You can't knock on opportunity's door and not be ready.
If you ever forget how much you really mean to me, Every day I will remind you
Never had much faith in love or miracles, Never wanna put my heart on the line
