Musician

I know how to use computers. I was one of those guys on Myspace who had one of those fake hit counters.

The difference between what people perceive and what's reality is that, like, I'm not actually shy. I'm just observant. I care a lot.

When I'm home, I try to relax, but I still make music.

I want to do as much as I can do while I'm young.

When you get into the studio, you never know who is going to fit your energy.

I don't know how to interact with fans, man.

I made my entire first tape using Beats headphones - the studio headphones and halfway through the second one, because I finally started making a home studio. But I record and make all my beats with the Beats headphones.

I'm grateful that really pretty girls like my music, and social media just happens to like really pretty girls.

I was like, 'Okay, cool, I'ma learn how to produce my own beats,' and I stuck to it. Now, it's hard to even take a beat from anyone else.

In the beginning it was definitely Drake, Kanye and Lil Wayne - those were my influences. But having worked with all those three individually, I'm now appreciating my own individuality.

You know what matters? Touching people. Being a real person. Because when you're in front of real people, they gon' give you a real reaction.

I make 99 percent of my music sitting down, in boxers, when I'm comfortable in my computer chair.

I competitively want to produce just as many records for Drake as Kanye West did for Jay Z.

The best advice Drake's given anybody is to know yourself. It's the most important thing to live by.

In the beginning it was definitely Drake, Kanye and Lil Wayne - those were my influences. But having worked with all those three individually, I'm now appreciating my own individuality.

I'm all about colors.

I would never call myself mysterious. The word I use is 'private.'

I'll make a whole bunch of beats whenever, but unless I'm living through something or have a female in mind, or have a conversation in my phone I could scroll through, I'm not making music.

Integrity is everything to me.

First time I met Drake was 2012 at a studio in Toronto.
