When I Was Coming Up,

There Are A Couple Of Homeopathic Things That Can Be Done, But You Can't Really Beat Good Rest And Lots Of Water. That's The Honest Truth. Making Sure I'm Well-rested And Hydrated Makes A Big Difference. Warm Water And Honey Is A Go-to, I Don't Really Drink Tea Unless It's Absolutely Organic, Because Otherwise The Caffeine Will Dry My Voice Out For Some Reason.

I Could Speak Spanish Fluently Growing Up, But I'm So Out Of Practice, And I Have Such A Tremendous Respect For Songwriting In The Spanish Language.

What Is Missing In A Lot Of Urban Music Is Perspective. You Hear A Lot Of Regurgitated Perspective. It's A Lot Of: Out At The Club. Had Drinks. Patrón. Big Booties. It's This Regurgitated Idea Of Living In This, I Don't Know, One-night-stand Moment That Always Starts At The Club And Patrón. And So Perspective, Perspective, Perspective Is What I'm An Advocate Of.

When I'm A Part Of Someone Else's Creative Process, It's All About Facilitating Their Ideas And Hopefully Bringing Their Perspective And Making It A Part Of A Song.

I Think The Goal Is In General To Broaden My Fans' Perspectives And Their Horizons. Not To Be Cliché. But To Introduce Them To Things That They May Not Have Introduced To Themselves.
