Don't let misery bring you down.

Doing an album is like having a business card; to show people what you do. The most important thing to me is the stage. I do albums because I love the stage.

The music of the westerner comes from Africa, whether they like it or not. The majority of the instruments of the music, of the pop music, rock and roll, or R&B, hip hop, whatever it is, their roots trace back to Africa. So if you are black, white, yellow, or red, whatever you do, it doesn't matter, because your DNA is back in Africa.

Education is very political, because when you educate the people, then you have a country that you can't fool anymore.

You cannot be defined by your skin color, where you come from. The world is yours, embrace it.

I'm a story teller. I really know how to tell stories of Africa.

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.
