I also think something that makes the whole live performance fun for me is that I love my music.

I love playing live and creating these records that people are so into.

I like mixing things up. That makes it more interesting. I love mixing in slower funk with what I do. I'll add drum and bass and put my foot to the gas pedal and press it to the floor.

I love looking out at a sea of people. It's mind-blowing. But I also like playing clubs.

I love hip-hop, and I like the beats the most.

I was a huge fan of '90s hip-hop, and a lot of what they got their music from was funk and soul records. They just, like, take a clip of that and rap over it because, you know, that was just kind of what was up.

I love what I do, and I do it 24/7, and it hurts my relationships very often, but it's worth it.

We just love Denver. The love and support from people here is amazing.

My one experience with Lollapalooza was in 2009 - it was actually the first music festival I've ever been to.

Being in the high-school band was some of the funnest years of my life.

Say It Loud' came from many, many small battles. From, 'I hate myself, and I hate this,' to, 'I love this, and it's my favorite thing...' to, 'This is the best thing in existence.'

I wanna take a step forward, and I also wanna make sure that step forward is the step that I want and that I'm not being pressured by life. You try and get better at doing something, and a lot of the time, it's because somebody told you that you needed to be better.
