Being a singer is a way for me to get to a platform to do more.

It sacrifices people's lives and their essences at the drop of a dimeI had a manager once say to me, You know you're worth more money dead than alive.

My mom took me to see Goldfinger. My mom took me to see To Sir, With Love.

I'd been in a vicious cycle and circle of people and couldn't see my way out. So I picked myself up one day about 15 years ago and moved where I didn't know anyone.

Painted faces, sun burnt skin, fixed expressions, smiles worn thin.

Walking through this life really is walking through fire.
