Musician

I've always been totally enamored by hip-hop. I wouldn't say I liked it exclusively growing up. It was, like, that and alt-rock. But I always preferred it. It set a tone for everything I wanted to do in life.

My fears are never about failure - it's about extreme success.

A part of me wants to rely less and less on comedic visuals and make more substantial standalone music. And get a sitcom on TV where I can let my comedy do the talking there.

Growing up, the one thing I noticed was that everyone seemed to laugh at my jokes wherever I went.

I've been working a lot with Benny Blanco; he's a producer. And I've been working with Diplo and a bunch of other people. Detail, Charlie Handsome. A variety of people.

Being funny is my biggest differentiator, and I think I'd be a fool not to use that, and there's nothing I enjoy personally more than making a human being laugh. But then, I also think I have a serious side to me.

I grew up upper middle class.

It's hard to form actual legitimate relationships.

Working at the ad agency showed me just how possible things were from a production standpoint.

Snoop Dogg and T-Pain, to me, are like legends so it's like, any time you get to work with a legend like that, it's cool.

The way you respect hip-hop is by being true to yourself.
