Art is observing society around you, representing it through your eyes.

Through technology and social media, we're able to create an identity online that shows people the face that we want them to see and rather than who they really are.

'I Get Around' came on one day. I'd never heard the Beach Boys before. The sound was so fresh to me. That was the first time when I truly was gripped by the power of music. It opened my eyes to the heights that music can achieve.

At the end of the day, I use music to be able to communicate to people.

Travelling alone was like laundry for my thoughts.

It's funny: the one time I got star-struck was when I met Snoop Dogg. I gave him a hug and said, 'I love you, man.'

When I started really playing music, I pretty much quit sports. I quit everything.

I had really bad grades in high school and didn't want to go to college, and my dad said, 'Why don't you move to L.A. or New York and pursue music? You've always been good at it.' It was the first thing that made sense to me and... It was the right move.
