Being singer/songwriter implies versatility and being able to create more than one medium, and R&B artist is a box, simple as that.

A gentleman of ambition is aware of the people he wishes to be associated with both socially and commercially. He knows that moving through different levels of society is akin to stepping through different rooms in an enormous house, each door leading to a grander environment than the last.
