Looking at the earlier reality videos, I had a few questions: first, did the advent of your success on vine and with Japan help you realize working in your own mould (as opposed to "verse-chorus" format) truly was the best thing?
no. it was around 2011 that i started trying to do verse chorus, and when the fans found out they were mostly very disappointed, and wanted me to keep it crazy.  around 2012/13 i really started to put the best of both together, and wrote probably hundreds of songs. then i was going to record them but i started making videos instead
