The 28-year-old musician made his big comeback this year following a quiet six years since his hit track 'Cooler Than Me' was released and he has shared his struggle to recreate its success; while writing songs for other artists such as Justin Bieber and Labrinth. He said: "I made two albums that got shelved by my label; my songs just didn't sell as well I guess. There was a gap in between for you guys, for me I was always with myself, I was always making music. But basically I was just making music that was less popular and my fans; they know all the stuff in between. I don't know why, some stuff gets more popular than others. I wish I knew why; I would make all popular stuff."
