I Used To Feel So Shy Speaking

The Worst Moment Was When I Was Performing And I Was About To Sing, But I Choked. I Had A Tickle In My Throat And I Started Coughing, And I Couldn't Get The Words Out. It Lasted For Like Thirty Seconds, But I Got Over It, And Luckily The Crowd Didn't Seem To Care.

With The Song 'this Christmas' I Wanted To Do Something That Was Kind Of Different. I Mean, Donny Hathaway Is An Amazing Artist. So I Wanted To Bring My Flavor To The Song So When People Over The Age Of 45 Or 50 Hear It They'll Be Like 'ok, He Did His Thing With That Record.' It's Like I Can Appeal To Everybody And Not Just A Younger Demographic.

I Can’t Hate People For Making Judgment On Me, Or Making A Decision Of Liking Me Or Not Liking Me. All I Can Do Is Try To Better As A Person. And I’m Good With Knowing Everything Isn’t Always Going To Be Perfect.

It's Not My Job To Try To Persuade People To Love Me, It's Only To Try To Make Them Love The Music

I Tried To Stay Away From The Euro Beats, And Not Go Totally Pop. Instead, I Wanted To Take The Quincy Jones Approach. The Record Pays Homage To The Stevie Wonders, The Michael Jacksons, The Sam Cookes. I Wanted To Put That Classic Essence Of R&b And Soul With The New Age Of Music Now. There’s A Lot Of Live Instruments, And A Lot Less Auto-tune. I Really Wanted To Demonstrate My Vocal Ability, Creating The Vibe Of Me Singing Along With A Band.
