My Dad Was Just The King Of

There's Always A Bittersweet Kind Of Thing, But I Feel Like Everything Had To Work Out The Way It Is. Everything That Had To Happen, Happened.

I Love Artists Like Prince, Who Hold On To That Element Of Mystery.

My Father Moved To Hawaii From Brooklyn And My Mother Came There As A Child From The Philippines. They Met At A Show Where My Dad Was Playing Percussion. My Mom Was A Hula Dancer.

A Lot Of People Are Really Quick To Say, "that Song Sounds Like This." Or You - "he's Tryin' To Sound Like This." And I'm Always Like, "you're Damn Right I Am. That's How - That's Why We're All Here." You Know, We All Grew Up Idolizing Another Musician. That's How This Works. That's How Music Is Created.

I Want People To Think Of Hawaii And Think Of Palm Trees And Magical Islands And Bruno Mars.
