music
I think there's always been progressive R&B music.
classical early fell funk love music soul
I fell in love with funk music through my father - Funkadelic - as well as soul and classical early on.
becomes best connect larger longer music personal
I think that the best part of music is when it comes from a real place and has an ability to kind of connect on a much larger scale. It no longer is a personal thing, it becomes everyone else's thing as well.
considered music plenty
I mean, there's plenty of artists who are making R&B music, but because of their ethnicity, it's considered something else.
clear music projection
I'm really excited to put music out that is a clear projection of my lifestyle.
independent creativity independent-music
I associate creativity with independent music.
musician snl outlets
'SNL' is probably one of the premiere outlets that a musician can perform on that isn't obviously a music outlet.
boundary music people
It was important for me to remind people that there's no formula... there's no boundary to R&B music.
came express honest matured musician secure vulnerable
Interestingly, I matured as a musician and as an artist before I matured as a man. What I mean by that is, I was ready to be completely vulnerable and honest with myself and unapologetic when it comes to how I express myself in my medium. But I wasn't as secure in doing that when it came to just being myself.
rocks interesting musical
I don't like rock. Honestly, I like to listen to it, but it's not for me. There's a lot of musical genres that I find interesting, but they don't suit me. It's one thing to listen to different genres, but to perform a genre that isn't yours is counterproductive.
music soul jars
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
natural
I think it's natural for an artist to explore as they evolve.
business definitely per
Twitter is definitely not the place to handle business per se.
favorite hard influenced movement
To its credit, hip-hop is my favorite genre, to this day, and it's hard not to be influenced by the culture and by the movement of it and by the soul of it.
