The fact that people are actually shaving their eyebrows is very flattering. But it's crazy that people are singing songs I wrote in my bedroom.
It's very easy for people to put out music.
It's crazy because I have a scar on my right eyebrow, but people who don't know me very well think that I just intentionally shave that part of it.
If I was on a 'Modern Family' kind of show, and they said, 'You have to say that the burger is $5.55; Have a good day!'... I could do that!
I listened to a lot of Marvin Gaye and Motown records.
I downloaded ProTools - legally, of course... and I wanted to impress girls by making remixes of songs.
I've always made weird sounds with my mouth. I've always been fascinated by the sound design, what you can do with your mouth. I was the kid dancing around in third grade on the basketball court. While everyone would be playing sports, I would be jumping around.
The scar on my eye is a result of the doctor's sewing up my face. It was 450 stitches and plastic surgery.
I'm down to act a little bit - go on a couple auditions or make one of those three-second cameos with one line.
My first date ever, I was kind of nervous, so I was like, 'I'm going to bring Brady to this walk on the beach with this girl,' and she was like, 'Oh my gosh, I have a King Charles Cavalier, too.' I'm like, 'Money, perfect, amazing.'
I was carrying my friend in his casket to put him in the hearse, and I was thinking, 'I need to write a song for this guy, because he always told me I would have a No. 1 song.'
I actually get a lot of messages with people saying, 'What's a Marvin Gaye?' and, I mean... Oh, wow. I must be getting old, because someone who was born in 2004 just asked me what a Marvin Gaye was.
I didn't start singing until I was 16. I was afraid to sing in front of people.
One of my goals is to find an unsigned YouTube artist and feature them on my album. That's what I wished someone would've done for me.
