Raised in a fatherless home, he was also pushed to have a more mature mind state, which is shown with his sensible song writing ability.

My music is about love, sex, and life’s choices. I say the things people think but are too afraid to say. From 14-45, you will love my music. I am one of the leaders of the resurgence of real R&B.
