You know, being the artist and not knowing when you sometimes create a song, you don't think about whether it's gonna start controversy or whatever. Sometimes you just write and you're in the zone. ”

I'm comfortable with who I am. ”

There's no such thing as 'sissy bounce.' We don't separate it here in New Orleans at all. It's just bounce music. Just because I'm a gay artist, they don't have to put it in a category or label it. ”

I've always liked to dance. ”

I'm an artist who happens to be gay. ”

The first 10 years of my journey, I was still figuring out who I was, and then I had to redo it all over again when I became bigger. So instead of saying, 'I'm gay and this is me,' I started telling the story through my music. ”

I came out at a very early age. I sat my mom down at my 12th birthday party and told her in front of my friends. She said, 'Baby, mama already knows, and I'm going to love you regardless.' Once I got my mom's support, there was nothing else I needed. ”

I'd love to work with Snoop Dogg, Skrillex, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar. ”

Drake and I have built a relationship, vibing and performing together. ”

I love Red Bull, they support everything that I do. They always support music and they're always pushing music. ”
