Nowadays in pop, there's not a lot of men that are singing big and loud and high - it's not as common as it once was.

There are female artists I can look at that I find more in common with than the male artists, because they're blending the pop, dance and theatricality... but currently there aren't a lot of guys who go there.

In middle school, I really didn't have music, but in high school, I remember taking a lot of choir and drama.

When I was in high school I was 250 pounds.

I didn't feel attractive in high school.

I started rejecting the proper way to sing and I started singing.
