Poor is the new black.

In the morning, instead of saying to yourself, ‘I got to wake up’ say ‘I get to wake up!’

They play it safe, are quick to assassinate what they do not understand. They move in packs, ingesting more and more fear with every act of hate on one another.

Music and the music business are two different things.

We mainly focus on putting music, art, dance, theater, all forms of art, back into the community, so the community can put it into the world.

I had the opportunity, as a child, to grow up in a community center where I was exposed to theater, music, art, and computer science; things that I would have never had the opportunity to even meet had it not been for those people taking time out of their schedules, helping us as children to travel all over the world while sitting in a gymnasium. That's what I did before I was a musician, before I was a recording artist, I was a teacher and a community leader.

Things are useless without practice.
