Just because you have a hit doesn't mean you're good [at music]. Just means you got a hit.
Don't let what you have to heal from blind you to how much there is to heal for.
People say, "How do you write songs?" I say, "Patience." I may have a track that's hot, but no words. I'll just let it sit for years, because I know they're going to meet. They'll find it.
There's so much there, there's so much to heal for.
Sometimes I think to talk too much about music almost cheapens it
I grew up with the Blind Boys' music. My family owns a music store in Claremont, California, called The Claremont Folk Music Center. I grew up with a heavy diet of gospel, folk, and blues because those are kind of the cornerstones of traditional American music.
