Danja and I were in the studio together in NYC when we came up
with Relax. At the moment of completion we knew it was a hit. A rap
feature was only to enhance the track. We were fortunate enough to be
blessed with a verse from the homie Snoop! He’s a legend, so it?s an
honor to have him be a part of this record.

24-How did you end up getting signed to producer Danja ?
That was one of the first producers I was sent to write with after
signing my publishing deal with Warner Chappell. The chemistry was
immediate and he asked me if song writing was my only interest. I said
no and we talked about me being an artist. After that we set up a few
sessions and took it from there.

24-What do you feel separates you from other artists?
Well I write all of my music, so it?s always my point of view-
it?s my way of saying things. I feel I have developed my own sense of
melody, my own style, even my track selection separates me.
