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

Your brain is your greatest weapon. Connect it to your heart, and you can go anywhere.

Africa is not just about where you are born. For me, Africa is the whole continent; from south to north, to east to west.

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

I’m honoured when Africa recognises me

As long as music of mine is not used to preach hate, or to bash women, it's okay for me. If it doesn't promote violence against women, drugs, this and that, use it, go ahead.

If you love music, you have to be the one that opens doors. You have to be the one that build bridge on which everybody can be free to walk on. I know that that's my mission.
