I felt like there were two people inside me. I was trying to be somebody I was not, and I was frustrated that people didn't know who I was.
Really, what I'm trying to do is make soul music, but I don't even think of it as a genre. It's more of a feeling.
You gotta be versatile, man.
I'm from the suburbs, really, so I actually didn't go to Montreal until I was, like, 19. I wasn't allowed to go to the city at night or really be in the scene with other producers. It was hard for my parents to understand what I was trying to do as an artist, but it didn't stop me. They eventually saw that it wasn't a joke.
It's pretty much about doing what you love and following your dreams. It sounds really corny, but it's so real.
I can't judge Justin Bieber, because I don't know him.
I love the London vibe. I get so much love from London that I never had from other places. It's crazy. The people there understand music so much more.
Nando's - boom! That's what I'm thinking of whenever I'm in London. I go there every time.
People should be going to shows to have fun and express themselves - just enjoy it!
The DJ thing is just a way for me to perform my songs in public. It put me on the map, and a lot of people discovered me because of my DJing and later found out that I made beats.
I've always wanted to push someone who's not really known but has mad talent. I don't know if I'm going to do a publishing company or a record label, but I'm interested in pushing artists in any sense.
I've always wanted to produce a whole album for an artist.
I'm looking for all types of sounds. Anything that has soul and funk in it, no matter the genre.
Especially for Haitian immigrant parents, being a musician is not a job.
I always say I want creative control. A lot of people don't think about that. And that's what every artist should think of - being creative and not just a puppet.
I was really not into school. Everything was distracting to me. I would have a beat in my head or a song. I was always not paying attention, just daydreaming.
I'm not just a remix guy.
I didn't finish high school. I tried to as an adult, but with all this touring, I had to quit.
