I love soul music.

I'm very meticulous.

Fear is a real thing.

I'm a child of extremes.

Spanish is my first language.

I know I'm my own worst critic.

Authenticity is hella important.

My demons are not that easy to shake.

My earliest memories have to do with music.

Frank Ocean - I have so much respect for him.

The first time I went crowd surfing was heaven.

I'll never pretend to be I'm something I'm not.

At every show, I pray with my band. It's a big thing.

I can't be so guarded up all the time. I know it's not healthy.

Kali Uchis is a dope person. Her voice, her style - she's so unique.

I'm appreciating every single bit of success I get, no matter how small.

I'm a fan of leaving people hungry; I don't like leaving people satisfied.

I feel like truth resonates, and you can taste when something is synthetic.

I'm sensitive. I'm proud of being sensitive. I'm proud of being empathetic.

It's hard to get someone to sit down and listen to an album in its entirety.

Talk to your enemies; sometimes ignorance comes from a lack of understanding.

I'm a person of extremes. I'm usually very polar in a lot of things that I do.

I know I'm grown, but there's a part of me who will eternally be six years old.

I love my smart, supportive, if-I-see-something-I'm-going-to-speak-up type of men.

I was all depressed because my ex cheated on me. It was hard for me to get over that.

I like being able to just put everything out on the table and letting the cream float.

I feel like humans, when you're faced with decisions, you can go up and down: duality.

All of the songs on 'Kiddo' were a part of my soul; they're songs that I could never give away.

I feel like it's dangerous to get complacent and celebrate too much... You can't get comfortable.

Someone can be miles away, but if they're in your heart, that means they're locked in your head, too.

Paying attention to my breath makes me happy to be alive. And that really grounds me during a performance.

When I sing in Spanish, my tone is different. I feel more relaxed because that's how I speak to my family.

Before I pass, I want to start an orphanage and name it after my mother. She worked with kids all her life.

I'm a fan of writing, and writing letters, because I hate when I'm trying to get a thought out, and I can't.

I purposely try to make my music cinematic. I try to inspire visuals even though I'm only an instrument of sound.

The luxury of not getting judged for 'loving' who you want to love should be given to everyone - including women.

I want to make something great. I want to make something that I can be proud of in 10 years, something that is timeless.

I love being in the woods, when I can just walk barefoot in the grass and just sit down and breathe. I love that so much.

I feel like I'm really grateful that my parents chose Canada, and I feel like there's open arms here, and it's very apparent.

The key to having something beautiful is being able to convey a normal human emotion but say it in a way that's never been said.

Me personally, I have a small circle. Part of that is because sometimes, you meet people, and you can feel the synthetic energy.

Luckily, everyone that I've collaborated with, everyone that has been willing to offer guidance and advice, they've all been dope people.

Amy Winehouse affected my life tremendously. I think maybe she was the first sense of intimacy that I had with a complete stranger, musically speaking.

When I'm performing, I have to tell myself, 'Wait a minute. You need to be here right now. You need to hold these memories and remember time is golden.'

I struggle with insecurities. I struggle with forgiveness. I struggle with letting someone go that did me dirty without vengeance, which is an evil thing.

I think life would be a lot easier if people were able to stand in their mistakes and not backtrack. If you did something wrong, own it. Like, hold your own.

Sometimes if I feel the songs are too much, it hurts, but then I open my eyes: people are singing along or crying, and the 7-year-old in me is like, 'Yeahhh.'

You just need to create and be open with that energy. The second that you are precious with it, it's almost like you showing the world you have a limited amount.

My God, it's laundry and family when I come back home. I've got to see my brother and kids, and my sister-in-law, my aunts, my uncles, cousins; everybody is here.

I remember that I wanted the Razor scooter, and my dad went to the garage, spent one or two days, and built one out of wood and painted it with the Colombian colors.
