My paternal grandmother gave me the courage to investigate things and not take things at face value or judge people by what I first imagine them to be.

I go through phases of stuff.

What singing means to me, I never did consider myself a singer, I just let people watch me feel music and how it comes through me. I've worked on it and practiced a lot. I mean, music, I dance to it, and singing is just one way of getting it out of me.

The Man That Knowz Something Knowz That He Knowz Nothing At All.

I don't sing melodically. Rhyme pattern is how I sing. I also write like a lyricist or an MC because that's what I was before I was a singer. I just took those elements and put them into music.

I really can't say what inspires me the most, because I'm inspired by just about everything. My feelings and relationships, my family, Scooby-Doo. Opinion of my work. Everything. Not just one thing.

All of my children are the same way I am. They're little artists too, in their own ways.
