Jeremih

I wouldn't put out anything that I didn't want to ride to.

R. Kelly is one of the pioneers that I grew up listening to. If he's classified as an R&B artist, then I want to be like that. I don't want to have limits either.

Jeremih

There are artists that actually don't like going into the studio. They get mad when people say they've got a session. I'm just the opposite. I actually enjoy it.

What I can offer the game is creating a sound that, when you hear it, you know it's mine.

It took me five years to realize what I could do with my voice. No Auto-Tune - cut all that off.

Jeremih

I grew up in a household in which they'd always play old skool classic R&B love songs - Al Green, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye... And my mom has even said that, when I was in her womb, she'd put the headphones to her stomach and play those songs to me!

Jeremih

Often, it's the little things, like the title of a song, that can make a huge difference in its success.

Jeremih

I'm a percussionist, so that's most of what I know when I attack a record. Melodically, knowing the keys - my first love - that makes the perfect blend.

Jeremih

If it was up to me, every show would start at midnight, and I'd give people the best of me.

Jeremih

My competition keeps me driven. My family and son and being home in Chicago keeps me humble, and my fans. They're the reason why I'm going hard and making sure everyone knows how to say my name.

Jeremih

I'm from Chicago, so you know we come from juking and footwork.

Nothing against Nicki Minaj - I think she's a dope lyricist, and her body is perfect, along with a dope personality. But I'm more into a woman who's not so much into the spotlight.

Jeremih

I can sing, don't get me wrong, but it's no belting singing.

Everyone always wants to say I'm shy. I don't think so, but there's a disconnect with my fans. I want my fans to see me - that's what they never do.

Jeremih

A lot of people are scared to come visit my hometown, but to me, violence is everywhere, man.

Jeremih

As far as romancing and catering to the women, I'm definitely here for all that.

I'm confident as hell when I step in front of the mic.

Jeremih

I took about four or five years of French in high school, but I definitely don't speak French as well as I thought I did then.

Chicago, we always had it. People just shied away because it's nothing businesswise from the industry. Everybody from Chi will go to N.Y.C. or L.A. - R. Kelly to Kanye to even Twista. Everybody is great from there, but it's nothing downtown.

Jeremih

'Down on Me' can't showcase my true talent. 'Birthday Sex' was robotic. When I perform it, I can't give you this church feeling I know I can give.

I can't wait 'til the world embraces Chicago - not only for our talent, but just to visit our city and not be so scared to come to it and not be subjected to what people's perception is of it.

Jeremih

Girl you are a beauty. Well, I am a beast. They must have been trippin to let me off the leash.

?fter all the beats and rhymes, I felt like everybody around me was rapping and so I was like.
