I don't listen to the radio.
Being a songwriter, my job is just to write songs for people. I'm not attached to them.
For me, what makes a dope concept is it's a fresh idea, something that I've never heard before.
I'm trying to stay a song ahead, two songs ahead of everybody else.
I'm just used to working harder than everybody and other people taking the credit.
I learned years ago that the more honest you are about anything you're doing in life, you can grow and learn from your mistakes.
Being genuinely humble and being myself has helped me succeed in my career.
I'm like this ghost - you look around, and all you see is the artist. But if you look at the credits, it's still Poo Bear.
I never wanna settle; I never wanna be complacent - I gotta outwork everybody.
When you wake up every day, it's like a new birthday it's a new chance to be great again and make great decisions.
As a songwriter, I got used to being in the background.
I don't know about the rest of the world, but America loves redemption. They love giving people second chances.
People love music, but they also love the lifestyle and glam that comes along with it.
I love R&B because it got me to where I am today, but at the same time, R&B just doesn't sell.
Toronto is my favourite city in the world.
It's cool to be recognized, but it's not something that I was seeking or sought after. I never wanted to be famous.
