I Think I Don't Take Myself Too

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.

I've Had Big Record Label Presidents Look Me In The Face And Say, 'your Music Sucks, You Don't Know Who You Are, Your Music Is All Over The Place, And We Don't Know How To Market This Stuff. Pick A Lane And Come Back To Us.'

Every Artist Should Want To Be Like Michael Jackson

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.

'doo-wop' Is A Very Special Word For Me. Because I Grew Up Listening To My Dad Who, As A Fifties Rock & Roll Head, Loved Doo-wop Music.
