Check excerpts from the interview below
Who He Is & What He Stands For:
As a 23-year-old young entertainer, I want the world to see my art
and hopefully be inspired by it, promote positivity with what I do now –
with painting, with fashion, with directing, with creativity as far as
videos and cinema. I want to have people admire that and hopefully have
people follow in my footsteps.
On Crossing Genres:
Definitely with Fortune that’s the
direction
I wanted to go, but even with the F.A.M.E. album. What I wanted to do
was not set the bar with a certain kind of style. I didn’t want people
to say. “He’s just R&B.” Yes, I will sing an R&B song. But then
I’ll do a pop song, then I’ll do a song with a country kind of feel, a
reggae feel. I always want to be eclectic with
my music. I don’t think
music has a race. I think music
has a soul and it’s just a feeling. What evokes the set of emotions
from you is what I try to bring out…whatever flows, whatever I feel, I
just write.
What Fans Should Know About Him:
Just how involved I am with everything. I think a lot of people, a
lot of artists, they get the glamour and glitz and everything else is
already set for them. You see it and you say, “Oh man, it’s perfect.”
But everything is already written. For me, it’s all just straight from
thin air. I hear a song [claps his hands] – that’s my concept. When you
hear my records, it’s really me writing. It’s really my emotions. It’s
really me behind the cameras, directing those videos. It’s me making the
decision on what singles we put out. Being the CEO.
A real businessman at 23. That’s what I want to show my audience. The
generation that we’re in – we’re a lazy generation. The kids in my
generation are not as hyper. The work ethic isn’t there. The attention
span is short. But I think if they can see me do it at 23 and have all
this stuff going on – and still have fun while I’m doing it – who’s to
say they can’t?
