It doesn't matter the genre or type of art, if it's authentic there's an apparent beauty to it and as an artist, that's very inspiring.

It is great to have your own label; you can cultivate your own artists I've worked with pretty much everyone I wanted to.

I've been a jazz artist playing pop and R&B my entire career.

There's only one thing that everyone in this world has in common: whether you want to love somebody and you want to be loved in return.

I hate the pigeonholing that's happened in the music business in the last 30 years.

I just want to be as creative as I possibly can.

When it's your chance to step up to the plate, just hit it out of the park, and everybody will forget about everything that came before.
