To Be The Best You Must Beat

Follow Your Dreams. Just Make Sure To Have Fun Too.

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.

I Got A Chance To Get An Actual Label. I Performed This Slow Song, This Ballad I Have. I Just Remember Going To The First Woman I Saw In The Room And Just Getting On My Knees Holding Her Hand Just Singing. And I Was Like, You Know What, I Got To Just Sell It. I Remember That Day They Were Like, Yo We Want To Sign You. [after] I Went Into The Bathroom, I Started Crying, [and] I Called My Mom. I Was Like Momma – I Did It.

I Like Low-maintenance Girls, But At The Same Time, Classy. She Needs To Take Care Of Herself. But Also Be A Girl Who Isn't Afraid To Get Sweaty And Play Basketball, So It's Cool If She's A Tomboy.

I'm Just Going To Go Out There Knowing My Teammates Are Depending On Me To Get The Job Done. I've Got To Go Out And Get It Done, No Letting Down.
