I try not to be preachy, I just try to deal with people on their own level, not to try to talk down or up to a person.

A lot of the time in music you get to see the place you play, or around the place you play, but that's it.

I'm a city boy by nature - that's a big-ass oxymoron - but I do appreciate nature to the fullest because they say if you wanna see God just look around. We can't make this, it's all creation, so I appreciate that.

I feel like I've been blessed to be able to travel with this music, so I always try to get down with the locals.

It's easy to focus on the differences, harder to find the similarities in people.

I try to really take my art serious, and pay attention to detail.

I'm a painter, that's what I love to do first and foremost.
