I Can Show You In Music Better

In My Songs, I'm Not Saying Something That's Never Been Said Before. The Have Lyrics Aren't Going To Blow People Away. It's The Emotion And The Melody That Drive It Home.

I Think Everybody Don't Know What Color I Am. It's Like, "he's Not Black Enough. He's Not White Enough. He's Got A Latin Last Name But He Doesn't Have - He Doesn't Speak Spanish. Who Are We Selling This To? Are You Making Urban Music? Are You Making Pop Music? What Kind Of Music Are You Making?"

I Feel Like You Have To Constantly Keep Proving Yourself, And You Have To Constantly Keep Getting Out There And Showing Them You're More Than Just That One Song On The Radio That's Just Playing. And That's What I Had To Do The First Time Around; I Had To Keep Going Out There And Keep Performing Live.

What I Like About Elvis Is The Same Thing I Like About James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince. These Guys, Back In The Day, There Was No Smoke And Mirrors. It Was Just Raw Talent. They Would Step Out Onstage And Command An Audience. Talk About Awesome.

Jimi Hendrix Is The Greatest Guitar Player In The World... A Guy Who Mastered That Instrument. It Was Talking When He Played. And When He Did A Solo, He Made The Guitar Cry - Or Made It Sound Like It Was Coming From The Devil's Amplifier.
