I'm a producer for fun. I'm not a professional schooled musician or anything.

A lot of producers don't have any musical education. I couldn't make the music I make without playing the piano.

I want to be known simply as a producer who makes music.

I get to go make music, and I get paid to do it, and this is what people love me for. I couldn't ask for anything greater, so how could I not go in the studio and make a million songs?

I'm a producer/rapper, so I feel like I can do anything. I can do all kinds of music. I've done all kinds of music, and I'm good at it.

I feel it's my job to continue being a student of music if I want to continue being an artist and a producer of other artists. You have to keep filling your mind with other music. You have to be ahead of the curve.

One other thing, if it's possible, as songwriters, you should also develop yourself as record producers.

I do a lot of performing, but don't get a chance to go to the studio and write good music.

I don't think of my music in terms of a career. I just want to get it out there and do it. I'm not manipulating my sound to be like anybody or trying to write to sound like anybody else.

I used to have sort of mixed feelings about a producer whose only skills seemed to be going into the studio, schmoozing the artists and making them feel good. I can see now that in some cases, that's what you have to do because that's the only way you're going to get them to produce.
