    Don't change your sound too much brother. Don't lose this vibe. As the industry changes to pop, electronic etc...stay the course and rule this sound. This is your wheelhouse brother.

      Great advise , musicians often go after the money... not after their passion !
      He will be featuring Justin Beiber and singing garbage soon, its all about money

      Have you ever changed your opinion about something? Artist also have the right to change what they like the most, to evolve. He could do electronic music and still doing it with his soul and passion, and that doesn't turn him into a comercial artist. Respect artist and whatever they have to do, because all the artist, or most of them work for passion, is such an incredibly difficult life and if someone at some point need to turn himself into a comercial one is because is tired of been fucking poor, suffer too much, and don't get enough love from their theorical fans. Any real artist will be completely happy if they have enough money to live and create their ideas. So never ever judge.

    His music is interesting because while at first it sounds similar to Al Green or Marvin Gaye's style, the more I listen I start noticing some musical phrasing that's really reminding me of Bob Marley, albeit in a subtle way, I'm detecting a definite Bob Marley flavor mixed in there.
