I'm in the booth and first of all, I'm from Germany and I had never heard a gospel in my life.

I went back and researched the history of gospel; where it came from, slavery times, communicating with each other without their master knowing what they are saying, and that gospel artists view themselves differently.

I'm the same person. I don't put on a face. I'm the same guy every time you see me.

As part of my relationship with my wife and my daughter, and we share everything and talk about everything.

I don't care if you are religious or not and I think the message is that at the end of the day, everybody has to mature and everybody has to heal and mend their own injuries, emotional injuries, on their own pace.

Sometimes in the black culture, being raised as an independent woman is misconstrued as someone who doesn't need a man. I think that's wrong. I think we all need someone.

My love for you is past the mind, beyond my heart, and into my soul.
