Amazingly, I've been sort of an anomaly in the music industry. I feel like I've been able to exist as kind of a throwback artist.

I'm always looking at other artists and trying to get inspired by different things.

I always knew would be some sort of artist, but didn't know what.

I'm quite an eclectic musician.

I have a very eclectic taste when it comes to music.

Funk, I don't think I have anything to do with funk. I've never considered myself funky.

There are different kinds of artists and very often, I'll be very frank with you, I wish I were a different kind.

Every single place that's brushed upon me has made me the artist that I am - from Nigerian Highlife music and the vocal melodies that I grew up on when I would be sitting with my father and his fellow chiefs, to the funk and freeness of the Bay Area groove, to L.A.'s smooth G-funk legacy, Brooklyn's lyricism, and now Atlanta's trap history.

The individual - man as a man, man as a brain, if you like - interests me more than what he makes because I've noticed that most artists only repeat themselves.

Well, I've always been eclectic.
