I know I could never be in a pop band. I honestly have an appalling voice.

I realized that there was much more to my voice than I'd ever been led to explore and that I could make my own songs.

I have a very pop voice, but there's so much of me I associate mostly with urban music, so I try to blend the two.

You need a bit more to be a pop star than just a good voice.

In every song, there is a vocal element that doesn't have any words. I wanted to play around with how emotive and expressive my voice could be.

And in singing, what my voice lacked in quality it made up for in volume.

As musicians, and as people who sell material for people to hear and absorb, it's important that we use that voice wisely.

What's missing from pop music is danger.

As I've gone along, I felt like I was discovering an aspect of my voice that I didn't know was there: an ability to interpret a song in a way that makes it more accessible.
