Love crosses all boundaries.

I feel like baggy pants are cool.

I've been singing since I could talk correctly.

For me, love is endless, and love has no age limit.

My peers inspire me, especially being a newer artist.

My high school was what crafted my interest in recording.

I didn't feel like I had a home until I moved to El Paso.

I use my clothing choices as a way to express how I feel.

You're not a real fan if you don't know how to say my name.

I love visiting my friends because it makes me feel normal.

I definitely associate songs with the places that I've been.

I've got to thank the city of El Paso for standing behind me.

I was told I wasn't good enough, but I just chose not to listen.

To be recognized and accepted by my musical peers is truly an honor.

I try to take all of my experiences in and not take anything for granted.

Joel Little and I have this certain chemistry we have when we work together.

What really keeps me grounded is my fans and the way that I connect with them.

And even though I'm famous, I still go through things that young people go through.

Positivity, confidence, and persistence are key in life, so never give up on yourself.

I'd love to collaborate with Frank Ocean. He's one of my favorite artists of all time.

I knew what I wanted and where I wanted to go. I always wanted to entertain and help others.

I'm really excited about what the future holds and to grow as an individual and as an artist.

Kendrick Lamar deserves a Grammy. He's one of the biggest, most influential rappers of my generation.

I've felt like an outcast most of my life, being in multiple high schools and being a military child.

Even though I wasn't born or raised in El Paso, it'll always be a part of me until the day that I die.

I wrote 'Saved' as a form of therapy to get over the fact that I had moved and lost so much of myself.

I would classify myself as an individual. That's what I try to stay true with - being myself, 100 percent.

El Paso is where I started. I don't feel like I'd be making the music I'm making now if I hadn't gone there.

I'm an African-American man with an Afro who isn't your typical athlete - who wasn't as masculine as other guys.

I was very confused with where my life was heading, but I knew that whatever I did, music was going to be involved.

Lorde is awesome. She's amazing. She's so talented. We went on tour in Europe, and it was the greatest time of my life.

When I wanted to be a music teacher, I wanted to help people through voice. Now, I get to help people out through song.

As an artist, I never want to be a moment. I want to be a legacy, and I want my music to touch people for years to come.

If you don't text your relationship partner - even if you just saw them in person - it's like you're doing something wrong.

In my home, we listened to music all the time. I was raised through music, and I've been interested in it since I was three.

Art is fluid, and it travels. You have to let music take you where it wants to take you. You can't necessarily be the controller.

A lot of my songs are about loneliness and losing relationships. Even the ones that are happy, there's a lonely undertone to them.

We were told not to turn our hobby into our job, but to turn our job into our hobby. As kids, we were told not to pursue our dreams!

It wasn't like I was specifically wanting to write songs about technology. It's just what I lived, what I was experiencing growing up.

Once you're comfortable with the way that you're dressing, you express yourself a lot more, and you're just able to have a lot more fun.

I suffer from anxiety, moments of depression. I'm in my head so much, and I'm thinking so much, I'm playing a tug-of-war within my mind.

I always try to be nice. I never want to be that person that anyone perceives as being rude or disrespectful, 'cause that's not me at all.

My mom raised a self-aware kid. I wasn't like the typical alpha male. I wasn't afraid to sing, you know? I wasn't afraid to be in musicals.

I've met so many new fans and amazing people while traveling to new cities and locations throughout 2017 in support of my album 'American Teen.'

With 'Location' and all the other songs around it, my music turned into therapy for others. And that's something I really love and am blown away by.

My mom and I, we have trust within each other because at one time in our lives, we were kind of all that we had, you know? My mom had me, and I had her.

I just love matching sets. Tops and bottoms that are the same color are awesome to me, because you can get them in so many different colors - neon colors.

I'm still proud of who I am, of my youth, and I feel like now, as individuals, we begin to realise that we can change the future. We all have to participate.

I always try to keep my friends within my music. I always play them all of the songs, and they are my biggest critics, and they love it, so that's a good sign.

For me, when I grew up, I never really had an outlet when it came to my social surroundings. Even if I had a form of popularity, I felt like I was very limited.
