So to be able to incorporate that sound with what I'm doing has been super cool because it's new and fresh. I feel like no one has done it before. I'm very excited."

"I've been working a lot in the studio, just trying to have a consistent sound, a cohesive sound," he added. "I get in my head a lot and I get kind of depressed because I want it to work so badly. I want people to love it. I want to inspire people."
