There are so many people telling you no, but if you love what you do, no one can stop you.
I'm in Atlanta all the time shooting and recording. That's why I stayed.
There is no point of doing anything if you're not going to do it all the way.
When you say 'R&B,' people's minds automatically go in a place. How about I just say, 'Here's a tape; you can check it out on iTunes. You tell me.'
I don't come from any type of entertainment. I come from a basketball family. My dad still says, 'Trevor, are you sure don't want to play basketball? You can play in college and go to the NBA!' But I did play.
I've been given the tools necessary to be a great musician, a great entertainer, and great person that's gonna inspire everyone.
I feel like people are so closed-minded at times.
Every time I'm ever in L.A., if I have anytime off - which is rare - I'll go straight to the basketball court and play. That's a way for me to escape and get my mind off everything. I'm so competitive, so if I'm playing basketball, all I'm thinking about is winning.
I'm that type of person that if I feel like I'm doing the same thing in life, then I'm stuck. Always gotta be moving and doing something different.
I feel like we sometimes let our emotions and anger get in the way.
That's what you have to learn with life. It's your life at the end of the day. There's really no right or wrong way to do things. Everybody has a way they think you should do it. So why not do it your way, you know what I mean, respectfully.
I know everything that I do is going to be more powerful and touch more people in a positive way than if I go out there and cause havoc.
Any project that I put out, I never want it to sound like the first one. It can have some vibes or stuff that matches, but I want it to be growth, progression, and you can't be comfortable when you're growing. If it feels good and it sounds good, it's good.
I feel like a lot of people have a hard time finding what they do, or they have a job or career and not a passion. That's miserable for me. Just find your purpose; understand that you have one life to live.
Most importantly, I don't do music for people to want to be a singer, actor, or dancer. I do it because I love it and I want to show others you can accomplish goals.
I like a girl who can be a girl but also ready to play basketball.
I think purpose is the most important thing because once you understand that, everything else becomes easy.
It's weird because if I'm not doing anything, I get antsy. I feel like I always have to be doing something.
If I write a song, I'm gonna end up singing it. If I sing it, I gotta dance to it.
I want to be the Denzel of acting and the Michael Jackson of music.
