This Is Why I Wanted To Be

Sometimes Being An Artist Means Knowing When To Let Someone See Something In You That Is There That You Can't Hear Or See.

For Me I Look At A Group Like Queen Or Ac/dc Or The Beastie Boys. There Was Melody Within What They Did. There Was A Certain Style With What They Did. I Think It Is Coming Back.

I Brought In Producer Johan Carlsson [ariana Grande, One Direction, Flo Rida] And Asked, "can You Make This Better?" And He Did.

I Write A Lot And I Will Have Some Originals On The Record. I Think It Is A Mistake For An Artist Like Me To Think I Am A Better Writer Than Cole Porter. I Think It Is Important To Realize What My Strengths Are. I Do Like To Write And I'm Not Shabby But I Don't Think I'm The Most Brilliant Writer. I Think It Would Be A Shame And Sort So Egotistical To Say I Don't Need These Wonderful Writers. These Men Created Works Of Art And Wrote Hundreds Of Beautiful Songs. It Would Be A Mistake For Me To Say At This Point In My Career That I Am So Good.

[dean Martin ] Had This Really Wonderful Rich, Authentic, Distinct Vocal Style. His Humour In Movies [and] The Self-deprecation And The Coolness He Had Could Overshadow What A Marvellous Vocalist In The Great American Songbook He Is.
