They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art.

I like to use the audience as my color palette, my instrument.

I'd like to see more crossover between white and black music. That's something I've been advocating for years.

I used to rely on black-and-white, and while I was working on 'Smile,' I learned to adapt to color on my end.

I just feel if you are an artist, you always have something to prove, if you are in music or in films, you have to prove that you can still do your best.

I love to prove people wrong. They expect I'll sound a certain way when they see me, then they hear me and they can't believe it. I love that.

I try to make songs visual and tactile to kind of put you into the action.

I feel like I've really earnt my stripes - I feel ready to play a lead. I would just love to prove I'm good enough to carry a project.

I want to show everybody the diverse me and show people that I can do a tune on an R&B song, I can do a tune on a house song, I can do something on an Afrobeat. I really want to show that.
