I grew up in New York.
The first record with an artist oftentimes can be the most exciting. When it's not routine for them, when it's really new is the best moment in their careers.
My music isn't Leonard Cohen. But people are going to smile when it comes on.
A hit record is a matter of a million things going right.
Kesha and I made a lot of songs together and it was often good but there were creative differences at times.
