I remember that at the beginning of the month, the kind of menus my mom and father would prepare for us would have fish, chicken. But at the end of the month - because my father would be waiting for paycheck - the refrigerator would get empty. I remember that without a lot of food left, some of the best meals happened right there.

Simon is cool. You know, it's different if you ever see him around his mom. He acts totally different.

I want to make sure I continue to make good music that my mom and everybody around me can be proud of.

I grew up in the '80s, and there was no bigger group than New Edition in R&ampB. I broke my piggy bank so me and my mom could go to a New Edition concert together.

I'm from Tennessee. My mom lives in Nashville. I'm born and bred country. That's all I listen to.
