You open the show with a bang, then don't come back on for 45 minutes.

I used to have trouble in front of an audience. I felt uncomfortable.

I've been a boxing fan ever since I was a kid.

Why stop now when I'm just getting the hang of it?

I was born and raised in the Bronx, and growing up here, you would go down the block, and on one corner you would hear bachata, on another corner some salsa, and of course there was hip-hop and R&B all over the place. So for me, it is very organic to have these combinations.

You can't take a kid from north Alabama and growing up in church - some of that is just gonna seep out.

As a kid growing up in the little city of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, I dreamed of one day playing in the NHL, but never did I expect it to be as much fun as it turned out to be.

Growing up, I didn't have any inspirations.
