My Parents Only Played Isley Brothers, Marvin Gaye. That's When New Kids Came Out, And We Wanted To Jam That. My Mom Was Like, "put That Thing Off And Put My Damn Record On". So From Old School To '90s To Recent, It's Just Always Been There.

Old School

I've Also Learned To Only Write Songs And Melodies That Really Work For My Voice And That I Won't Have Issues Doing Live. Because You Can Get Really, Really Comfortable In The Comping Process: Out Of Five Takes, Maybe One Of Those High Notes That You Struggled To Do, Nailed It, And Then Live You're Having That Challenge Of Really Having To Recreate That.
