Kevin Abstract

I figured it out at a young age: I could meet as many young people online and try to form my own family or my own record label group.

When you're bored, you get creative.

The biggest pop star in the world shouldn't be a boring white kid from Canada - the biggest pop star in the world should be a creative black kid from Texas that doesn't know how to come out to his family - that's a way more interesting story, and it gives a new type of kid some hope.

No one in my family was creative. One of my sisters went to a university, and pretty much, most of my siblings live a basic and dull lifestyle.

Hip hop's all about expression. That's why I got into it.

We did what we wanted to do, made it work, and made our own rules - and the best art we could - along the way.

I really want to only put out three projects from Kevin Abstract as far as solo bodies of work.

Social media is awesome because I can somewhat paint myself the way I want people to see me.

For some reason, being gay can be such a sad thing in media, so it's really cool to see someone like me who doesn't look like, I guess, the stereotypical gay guy.
