Quote

I came to California and got signed at a young age. And it's not like you see in the movies, where you start rubbing shoulders with Timbaland and Pharrell, and you become a giant pop star.

What I like about Elvis is the same thing I like about James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince. These guys, back in the day, there was no smoke and mirrors. It was just raw talent. They would step out onstage and command an audience.

No one sells a song better than the person that wrote it.

I'm a big fan of the young 1950s Elvis when he would just go onstage and control the whole environment.

My dad was just the king of finding these little spots for us to stay that we should never have been staying at.

Music is not math. It's science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.

My dream was to not get a day job but to sleep, wake up and do my music. I want to keep that dream forever.

I really wish I knew what I was doing because I'd be writing hit songs every minute.

My father moved to Hawaii from Brooklyn and my mother came there as a child from the Philippines. They met at a show where my dad was playing percussion. My mom was a hula dancer.

There will never be another Michael Jackson, a huge pop star since (the age of) 7.

I can't even speak Hawaiian, but if you go there and listen to a Hawaiian song, you get captured because it's so beautiful, like the melody is just gorgeous and you know Bob Marley is on the radio every single day. It's very reggae-influenced down there. Basically, you haven't been to paradise if you haven't been to Hawaii.

You aspire to be as great as Michael Jackson is as an artist. I don't think any artist in pop, rock or hip-hop has ever done it any bigger than him. You know what I mean? He's the man.

It's just all love. That's what music is. That's why music is created. To make people feel good, to uplift people. That's what musicians are for: to give everyone an escape, to let everyone feel good and take people out of everyday problems, so that they can hear music and sing words that are hopefully relatable.

I just write songs that I strongly believe in and that are coming from inside. There's no tricks. It's honesty with big melodies.

Every artist should want to be like Michael Jackson

I've learned people are watching, so don't do nothing stupid.

I wish I could tell you me and my rock band were traveling around, strung out. No, we were a family band. Straight Partridge Family.

I want there to be a piece of me in my music, you know? I genuinely believe that's the secret of all the success that's happened (for me).

I think everybody don't know what color I am. It's like, He's not black enough. He's not white enough. He's got a Latin last name but he doesn't have - he doesn't speak Spanish. Who are we selling this to? Are you making urban music? Are you making pop music? What kind of music are you making?
