We all know we have a finite period of time. I just feel if I'm going to be alive, I want to be challenged - to be as immortal as possible. The path to that isn't an easy way, but it's a rewarding way.

Being singer/songwriter implies versatility and being able to create more than one medium, and R&B artist is a box, simple as that.
