Musician

My first song was 'So Sick,' which was my first number one as an artist, and I turned the mic around to the crowd, and they sang the whole song. Every lyric. That was my first experience with the power of music.

You know what? At this point in my career, at this point in my life... I'm 34 years old; I don't have time to be hiding.

I grew up in Las Vegas. My mom worked in pretty much every casino on the Strip.

I would've given my right arm to do something on the 'Ray' film, the movie about Ray Charles.

I feel like everything is inspired by something else. There is no 100 percent original thought.

I like to learn through doing. Let me make a mistake, and then critique me on what I did so that I learn that way.
