Sometimes with pop music, you have to see it to love it. With soul music, it's sparse. There's nothing that's pretentious or planned. It's just so gutsy.

In my hometown memories are fresh.

I've never had a problem with the way I look. I'd rather go for lunch with my friends than go to a gym.

I have insecurities of course, but I don't hang out with anyone who points them out to me.

Don't underestimate the things that I will do.
