I'm just here for good times, man. I want people to have the best time ever. Especially if they're around me.

Yes, money is important. But it's all about the creative process.

Money is something that keeps you alive and healthy and just keeps you focused. It's the drive. It's the passion.

My mom worked for Apple, and my dad owned his own business.

I remember my mom bought me one of their shirts for Easter so that I could wear Helmut Lang for Easter. That was my first piece.

My mom used to work for Coach and Louis Vuitton, in retail. So, I've always been around it. I've always had that connection. Always.

I'm attached to the beat. The beat speaks words. I love music.

I'm not into just one thing; I always felt like I had to have my hand in everything revolving around what I do, whether it's directing videos, making beats, making music, performing.

I feel like Houston is one of the leading things in music culture. Everyone loves the Houston culture. It needs to have its own monument, its own moment for artists like me, artists like Beyonce who set it off.

I was working with Jay Z while I was still learning how to be who I was about to become.

Everybody just has different steps in their life that they take to do what they should.

When I was three years old, my dad bought me my first drum set.

The most ironic thing is my grandfather has his masters in music composition; he was a jazz composer. My dad was a musician, too. He played more, like, soul music.

I'm always up for collaborating with brands and people who actually design, but doing your own line is a whole other beast. I don't think I could deal with the criticism.

I design music; I don't produce it.
