As a producer, when I'm trying to make something soft, I start with a slow tempo. Then after that, it would be straight to acoustic guitar and vocals, or I'm going to go strings and just piano.

With L.A. it's like, yeah, there's Death Row and whatever. But I always wanted to know what those artists were sampling. It's how I fell in love with music.

Rioting definitely brings attention to the situation at hand.

It's hella crazy being included in the music for the 'Ninja Turtles' movie.

One day, I'm gonna make a song with John Mayer.
