“Show your talent ‘cause a lot of people say it’s not what you know, it’s who you know, [and] I believe that to a certain extent. Because when you do not display your talent, it only lasts for so long. And if you’re being authentic and you showcase your real talent, that’s your gimmick, it’ll take you far.”
