Musician

I like everything to happen organically.

I feel like having a son made me go harder and work harder. And now that I got a daughter, it's the same grind, staying focused on what I have to do for them.

My real name is Dijon. My mom named me Dijon, so everybody used to call me Mustard.

I just wanted to do my own albums where nobody could tell me what to do. Roc Nation was the perfect fit because I could do what I wanted to do.

My uncle is just, like, always pushing me to be better, be a man, and showing me the ropes of the game.

Everybody likes the new guy. Being the new guy is cool. But then when you're there for a couple months, you're just the cool guy. I think I'm just the cool guy.

What I would tell young producers is if there is someone out there who can help you, then go work with that person.

Sometimes you can do a million songs, and if they're not good, you're just wasting your time.

If I'm DJing, and you stop me and take a picture? That's annoying.

Sam Smith is amazing.

My uncle, he's a big DJ out here in L.A. His name is DJ Tee; he's got a bar in Westchester.

I think that you're only going to get better if you take time to better yourself, not because someone says you should get better.

Anytime you throw claps back to back on a song, it makes everybody want to get up and have fun. It's a fun sound.

Everybody likes good music, so when you're just playing good music and encouraging everybody to have fun, they'll have fun.

I don't want to be known for only making ratchet music.

I used to live with YG.

I think that you're only going to get better if you take time to better yourself, not because someone says you should get better.

I think Justin Bieber should let me executive produce his album.

I just wanted to do my own albums where nobody could tell me what to do. Roc Nation was the perfect fit because I could do what I wanted to do.

I don't know why people be in the club trying to be so cool. Standing around, trying to be cool. I don't get that. I just think everybody wanna be a star. That's why people don't dance.
