• Writing and releasing new music from prison, including emotional gospel songs and fun tracks like “Hot Dogs on the Campfire”

• His health struggles, time inside and how global fan support helps him keep going

• His relationship with his husband Jorge, their upcoming anniversary and what he hopes for their future
