Listening Quotes

I hope that people can relate to my music, it's very relatable, it's very fun, it's very honest. It's very, very, honest.

I'm sure they'll learn about a new side to me, it's all very honest, I don't put on any... there's no fake-ness to it, it's very real and I hope my fans can relate to it and that it's enjoyable for all ages.
