Music for me has been my breath, my backbone since I was a little kid. Anything that comes to my life, hard time or good time, I always find comfort in music.

As far as I'm concerned, no human being should be, absolutely not, put in the category of color.

The richness of Africa, culturally, is vast. That's the challenge that we have to face, because most of the time, people in the western world, their attention span is really narrow.

If you don't trust the roots of the modern music in Africa, then there's hope for that music at all.

You have to stand for something or you fall for everything.

With technology today you can sing like a frog and sound good. And then when you come on stage, what do you do. Some of those artists never toured, probably just hype.

I am a storyteller with my music. And my story, nobody gonna tell it for me.
