It's a different mindset and I think it's to my advantage. I grew up with a mother-and-father household. I'm very blessed to be able to say that. My dad, he's a provider. He worked all the time. My brother was the oldest of the four of us, and he was in the service. A lot of my high school career I was at home with my mom and my two sisters. I would hear my sisters talk about how their boyfriends did this or how they wish their boyfriends would do this. I learned a lot of things about women at an early age, growing up with two sisters and a mother. I'm able to fall back on that when it comes to writing lyrics because I believe as a man, it's very important to know what a woman wants to hear and to know how to present that. I think I've been blessed with that ability to know how to approach a woman in person or in song.
Do you ever see yourself venturing out of the R&B genre, or is that something you're going to stick with?
That's the core of me. I grew up in the church, so Gospel is a part of me as well. I just love music – whatever it is. In the future, I may venture into other genres.
