Blaxploitation films were black films targeting black people. They were films made to appeal to a culture in a way that was supposed to be unfiltered.

It's important for a young black kid to see a Mexican hero, just to know that we're all equal.

I think that being a film composer, someone that gets it and actually applies the music, it allows you to open up a spectrum of feeling. You're now allowed to approach the music from an audio visual perspective.

I try to make classics. I don't try to make things that aren't good. It's always a pleasure to see that people care about the kind of music I'm making.

It's important to the world to see superheroes that are spread across our demographic.

What really, really inspires me is that you don't see many black superheroes on television.

When you get above the line, you're above the line. So my thing is I just want to make music where I am always above that line.
