I love Usher's 'Confessions.'
With 'Minecraft,' I've started creating serene ambiance music. As the game went on to become famous, people started identifying me as the ambient music person, which I never actually thought I was.
There are so many great singers out there.
When I was making my first record there would be something that would come out that would inspire you, you know? You'd see someone on TV or on the radio.
I did a short film with Donald Glover for one of his Childish Gambino projects, and Flying Lotus was an actor in it.
I think Usher is a bonafide superstar because he's very honest in his songs, and people can relate to that, especially in the feelings and textures of his voice. He is one of the best.
The sexiest woman musician is Alicia Keys.
I really like 'Roar' and 'Dark Horse.' 'Dark Horse' I really like, and I feel I would sing that in the bathroom; I would buy that album, and I think Katy Perry's amazing!
I'd want to collaborate with Eminem, of all people. Maybe even Lauryn Hill.
I worked with Busta back in the days, shoutout to the OG Busta Rhymes.
I dressed more like a pop star, I suppose, rather than the traditional blazer and tall trousers other players went for.
Marvin Gaye was one of the coolest. I look to him as a style icon and as an artist.
To get the best idea of who I am, I would probably say listen to my first single, 'The Way I Talk.'
I love the band Haim. I would love to do something with them.
Drake just stands for Do Right And Kill Everything
I'm a Bieber fan, man! That kid is ill!
A singer is someone who puts out an album. That's a very generous description.
I'm not going to be Rihanna. No one can be Rihanna except for Rihanna.
Over the years, El Perro del Mar became this artist that, every record that came out, I just loved it.
I remember telling the head of Warner Brothers that if they'd just make a video for 'Ol' Red'... and if it didn't work, they could drop me from the label.
I'm signed to Atlantic through 300 Entertainment [Lyor Cohen's label]. That is my only contractual relationship.
Oh yeah, I've got a good relationship with Marshmello.
I adore John Mayer. I don't see how anything that surrounds John could be negative.
Usher is definitely somebody I came up listening to.
I've always loved Jay-Z's music and loved what he's done.
