I started rapping because my mom died when I was about 11 years old, and I was a very rebellious kid. I've been kicked out of every school I've ever been in since 6th grade on, expelled and dropped out in the 11th grade. Music was the only thing that I could really use to express myself, so I started rapping.

It doesn't take long to make catchy songs. That's not my problem.

I'm a very cultural person, and Canada is a very cultural place.

'I Told You' is for all the people who've been doubted, the underdogs.

I'm a big Justin Bieber fan. I've been a Justin Bieber fan. I've been listening to his music. OG, you know. That's also my friend, too, so, you know. It's just one of those things. We've been supporting each other's music for a long, long, long time.
Daystar Peterson -
I don't have no personal problems with nobody.
Daystar Peterson -
For me personally, my favourite part of performing is just going in the crowd and doing crazy things that they never expected to see. Challenging myself to do new things that I never expected to do. That's the biggest thing for me.
Daystar Peterson -
Singing is one of the most important components to me. That's kinda how it all started.
Daystar Peterson
-
I was being very bad because I didn't know how to express myself. Music gave me an outlet to express myself and channel that anger.
Daystar Peterson -
I'm not a singer. I'm not an R&B singer. I'm an artist.
Daystar Peterson -
I don't write anything down - it comes from my head and my soul and my heart and my pain. That allows me to make the best music I can make.
Daystar Peterson -
I know why I'm here. I know why I was placed in music, and it's not by coincidence.
Daystar Peterson -
I do a lot of writing. People don't actually know how much writing really I do.
Daystar Peterson -
Every time I do something in life, I try to outdo myself.
Daystar Peterson
-
The whole 'I Told You,' there's nothing written. That was all out of the feeling. That's why the album is so incredible to me - it's all out of the heart; I didn't take time to pre-calculate it.
Daystar Peterson -
I'm getting money over here. I'm good, I'm young, I'm finally in a position to feed my family; please don't take that away from me.
Daystar Peterson -
I never grew up on Jodeci. I never grew up on things like that 'cause my dad was a preacher, and he kind of kept us away from music like that.
Daystar Peterson -
I'm thankful to God that my life changed, but I'm also still on my grind.
Daystar Peterson -
It's not the fact that your single can sell. It's the fact that you can sell hard tickets. People will spend money to see you.
Daystar Peterson -
I definitely want to work with Kanye, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande - all the big people.

Everything that comes out of Canada musically, I support. I support Toronto 100% because I'm on the side of the music.
Daystar Peterson -
I started singing to this one John Legend record; it was called 'Each Day Gets Better,' or something like that. I started to realize, 'Wow, I really sound like this dude. If I keep doing this, maybe I can sound dope like John Legend and still rap.'
Daystar Peterson -
Everyone is friends with each other, and you have to like what's hot. You have to do all these things as if there's no real feelings. As if you can't dislike something any more. We all just have to be buddy-buddy.

My mom died when I was 11 years old.
