When Everything In Life Gets So Complicated

I've Had Big Record Label Presidents Look Me In The Face And Say, 'your Music Sucks, You Don't Know Who You Are, Your Music Is All Over The Place, And We Don't Know How To Market This Stuff. Pick A Lane And Come Back To Us.'

It's Dedicating Yourself To Your Craft. Spending Thousands Of Hours In A Studio Learning How To Write A Song, Learning How To Play Different Chords, Training Yourself To Sing. You Know, To Get Better And Better.

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. Talk About Awesome.

I Watch The Best. I'm A Big Fan Of Elvis. I'm A Big Fan Of 1950s Elvis When He Would Go On Stage And Scare People Because He Was A Force And Girls Would Go Nuts! You Can Say The Same Thing For Prince Or The Police. It's Just Guys Who Know That People Are Here To See A Show, So I Watch Those Guys And I Love Studying Them Because I'm A Fan.

I'm Hoping That "nothin' On You", "billionaire" And "just The Way You Are" - Songs That I Produced... I Hope That It's A Warning For People. I Hope It Lets Them Know That I'm A Little Unorthodox When It Comes To Genres And Styles.
